    convert

    How would you convert a const char to a BYTE array?

    So what do you have, a single char? And you want to make it into an array of BYTE?

    Shouldn't require much more than declaring an array with one element and putting the char in that - you may have to cast the char, depending on the declaration of BYTE (it may be an unsigned char).

    I'm not sure your new comment actually adds anything useful to your previous question.

    Are you asking how to print "w listens" as "0x77 0x20 ..."?

    Using printf("0x%x", some_char); will do that..

    This seems to have done it...

    Code:
    	BYTE *bArray;
    
    	for ( int x = 0; x < iLength; x++) 
    	{
    		bArray[x] = szBuf[x];
    
    		Log("[Packet]: 0x%X [Array]: 0x%X", szBuf[x], bArray[x]);
    	}
    Thanks.

    I hope you are allocating some memory for bArray to point to...

    Code:
    	for ( int x = 0; x < iLength; x++) 
    	{
    		bArray[x] = szBuf[x];
    	}
    This loop maybe better to replace with one call to memcpy wich probably will do the same work faster...
    Logging - you'll need to do as it is
