Convert String with hex-values to string with chars

[OnlyOne]

Hello,
i want to create a vi with one string-in and one string-out.
In string-in a is inserted a hex-value like for example "65". In the string-out i want the real char to be returned what would be the charactaer "e".
How can i do this?
Thanks for your help

There is a function to convert a hex string to a number and one to convert a byte array (an array of numbers) to an ASCII string, so that's one way to do it. Both functions to do this can be found in subpalettes of the String palette.

To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here, here, here, here and here are a few you can start with and here are some tutorial videos. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).

TST is right (as usual). Here's an example of how to do it:

Sorry - I just noticed that the front panel in my screenshot is not updated with "e" in the indicator . Guess I should have pressed Run once more before taking the screenshot... I apologize for the confusion.

Yes, i was wondering for a short time. But i thought to myself that you just have strange codepage installed or something like that.
But thanks for the info.

Since you're dealing with ASCII values in LabVIEW, here's a little VI I once created to get a good overview of available ASCII characters.

Guess that's what happens when a LabVIEW fan misplaces his ASCII table...
