Looks more like Bill Clinton code than Rube Goldberg code.

I DID NOT REG-EX WITH THAT RUBE CODE

I just noticed that my attempt to add a spoiler to my previous post failed (chronic issue for me with Firefox).  It contained self-deprecating humor and my boring non-regex-aholic version.

Not to worry, Christian comes along with a better solution, and a MUCH better joke....

Altenbach's(/Darin's) method is better, but there's at least one intermediate nugget for improving your code: autoindexing into a single Concatenate. I have not benchmarked this one, but would expect significantly better performance than a concat each iteration for large input strings.

Sorry Darin...  I didn't see your post due to Steve's reply..  😄

Strangely enough, I do not get the same result as you do.  I get:  3215AB2F00000053

But I agree that regex would be the best way to go..  🙂

Thanks Christian,

I was close to your solution, but not close enough.  I made a mistake by using U8 D'Oh..  or D'Euh!!

Sweet!  Thanks!

Thanks guys!!  Man, I didn't expect my Rube Goldbert code to be so funny!!  I was laughing my head-off.. LOL!!

Thanks Jack for the tip, I'll have to remember that one in the future.  I prefer the non-For-loop solutions.  Why loop when not needed?  😉

You haven't unleashed the power of the Regex yet, you need to Right-Click the Search and Replace function and choose 'Regular Expression'. 

Although I am an admitted Regex-a-holic, and look for any excuse to use one, the Type Cast method is probably a bit (ie. a lot) faster if you care.  (Even my mini-Rube Reverse+Swap version.)  Of course, some depraved individuals may think I am cursing or otherwise when I post Regexes.....

Regular expressions make much more sense after they have been compiled to machine code.
