byte[] to a string of octals \081\037....

[RVic]

If I have a byte array, how can I convert this to a string of octals
values? Thanks, RVince

For octal, set the radix to 8 in Integer.toString():

As bytes are signed, you may have to account for sign extension.

Presumably if you knew how to convert a byte to a string containing an
octal representation, you could put it in a loop, with a StringBuilder
to accumulate the results and be done.

hint: you probably want unsigned rather that signed bytes. Signed
bytes are rarely used in Java.
