hex to string

[Net Mongrel]

converting string to hex like so:

for x = 1 to len(source)
target = target & hex(ascw(mid(source,x,1)))
next

How to convert it back to a string?

I got as far as:

for x = 1 to len(source) step 2
target = target & chr("&H" & mid(source,x,2))
next

but this fails with the pound sign (£ - &pound

Can't you just use the escape() and unescape() methods? These convert to
hex and back.

Thanks Stan, that's javascript right? I did a little digging and played
around with the calls. They don't really do what I had in mind.

I do need to get the hex pairs for each character and then change them back.
