How to change CString data to CString data(in Hex format)? (And change back)

I have this below CString data (

Code:

---

CString m_str;
m_str += "CAST";

---

I need to change m_str to hex CString data. So I use this below function

Code:

---

CString m_hexstr
m_hexstr.Format("%02X", m_str);

---

So I get m_hexstr = {"BC3E5C"}

But I want to ask about how to change back from hex CString data {"BC3E5C"} to CSting data {"CAST"}.

Thank you for your reply.

Here is a function that I've used for a while

Code:

---

#include <ctype.h>

unsigned long atoh(char *ivalue){
    char *value = ivalue; 
    unsigned long rtrVal=0, i, end;

    if((strstr(ivalue, "0X") == ivalue) || (strstr(ivalue, "0x") == ivalue))
        value+=2;

        for(end=0, i = 0; isxdigit(value[i]); i++, end++);

    for(i = 0; i < end; i++){
        word bwI = (end-1) - i;
        word iChr;
        char lChr = toupper(value[i]);

        if(lChr > 64 && lChr < 71)
            iChr = lChr-55;
        else if(lChr > 48 && lChr < 58)
            iChr = (lChr - 48);
        else
            iChr = 0;
        if(iChr > 0)
            rtrVal += iChr << (bwI << 2);
    }

    return rtrVal;
}

However, it is all c. But you should be able to throw using namespace std in there and be just fine.

Thank you for your answer master5001

I think I get the wrong answer.

Because "CAST" should result in 8 letters. (2 per ASCII character).
I think Format does not work ok this way.

master5001 I want to ask you about your function. Is that function convert from hex character to CString? Do you know how to change from CString to hex character.

Thank you for your reply.
