Syntax Terms
- %outStr
- A string variable to receive the hex encoded value of the method object string.
- string
- The string to be hex encoded.
Usage Notes
- Hex (short for hexadecimal) encoding is usually used for debugging when there is a concern that non-displayable characters (including trailing blanks) might be present in a string. By hex encoding such a string, all non-displayable bytes are converted to displayable hexadecimal equivalents.
- The StringToHex function always returns an even number of bytes.
- The inverse of StringToHex is HexToString.
