Ok I got it thanks
Best way to work around this was convert to byte array then unfold that to string and concatenate in a while loop with array length as the check.
Has to be unfolded rather than type cast because the typecast shows }{>@~?@~@?> (that kind of text) when in a normal text string box.

Hi altenbach
I did create a VI in my first post which shows whats happening (with regards to the starting zeroes being cut off)
All thats changed from that post is knowing you can't define the width to solve it because there are characters after it that i picks up instead of adding zeroes at the start to make up the width.
Anyway I have sorted it now - thanks for the suggestions
