From String to characters

[Neil]

Problem: I have a string say s = "1F3"; and I have to place the contents of
s into two characters cC1 and cC2;

End Result: cC1 = 0x01; and cC2 = 0xF3;

Solution:????


Thank you,
Neil

Convert the string to an int first, then take the upper and lower
bytes. See the FAQ:

Note that you may need to prepend "0x" onto the string since it is in
hex.
