Hi Pinki2k,
I don't know if you are going in the right direction, but it sounds like it... Now we need to work on "refinements".. ;o)
You may not need to conver the number into HEX, because it may be a case of representation.. (visual)
Here's how you can check to see if your data is in the correct format.
Within the block diagram, use the wiring tool to wire indicators (right click > create > indicator) at each point where you manipulate the data (convert to hex, etc).
Go to the front panel. Right-click on the indicators and select "Format & Precision". Then select "hexadecimal". Then verify that the display is similar to that in your hex editor. It should match directly from the point where you read your file, because the bi
nary (in it's raw visual form) is an ASCII representation of the HEX data. So display it as HEX.
That's the first step.
After you are happy that you are dealing with the correct data, you can change the type to something useful that you can manipulate. Changing type is done by TypeCasting. You take the icon and feed (left) the array. You wire the type to the top.. (and I mean wiring the type as in if you want numeric, you go into the Functions Palette under Numeric and wire the integer -0-). The output is the array in the type desired... LV lacks proper description of this function...
Let me know how it goes..
