string(8A6E) to binary(16bit)

[ebuckbuck]

Hello ,

I have to parse a frame (13 words each of 16 bits each) ....Now the frame is a string array with (8A6E) kind of values which then need to be converted into a 16bit binary form for further parse.

available is string to byte function (8bit) ...and I need 16bits together only( parse requires MSB(2-15) like operations ...any suggestions??

Try Hexadecimal string to number.

Thanks ..but my input string array is normal ascii ...(HEX is only the display) .... (Šn -->8A6E(display) --> 1000101001101110 ) ....and then I should be parsing this binary data ...

soory for not being specific in prob description above

Thanks

That is still not clear.  Exactly what do you mean be "normal ASCII".  When you see 8A6E on the string indicators, is that normal display or Hex display.

If that is normal display, you'll need to do what I said.  If it is hex display, then use typecast to typecast it to a U16 datatype, or an array of U16.

Yes ..it is the hex display ...and I think then I would try the typecast ..thanks a lot ...
