Raw file writing

[monoceres]

I have this 40 character long hex string: B15C342F1DE186996BCCA5E1A23CD684D2FADB32 (It's a SHA1 hash) and I would like to have this string written to a text file, the problem is though that the string shouldn't look, but rather as this: ±\4/ákÌ¥á¢<ÖÒúÛ2. I figured that it must be some kind of raw binary string because if you open a textfile in binary mode containing the raw string and then read it to a variable you get the first hex string.

Any input will be much appreciated

Kinda hard to tell what you're asking for -- your post is unclear.

1) If you want to grab the string from the binary, simply use StringTrimLeft($bData, 2). StringTrimLeft() automatically converts $bData into a string.

2) If you have a non-binary string and want it written as binary, then simply do something like Binary("0x" & $sData) before you write it (assuming it's a proper hex string without the "0x" prefix, I guess).

Thank, you I had forgotten the 0x
