Help converting strings to hex / binary and back

[ReaImDown]

I am trying to take my name (Randy) ...convert it...but I cant convert it back...tried everything I could think of...

Thank you for your help -.-'

#include<String.au3>
MsgBox(0,"",_StringToHex(Binary("Randy")))

msgbox(0,"",_hexToString("307835323631364536343739")); Randy

I wanted it to be hard for someone to reverse my code, I am really going to use it for a password....so I wanted it converted to hex, then binary....then backwards back to a string.

Why not just use actual encryption with _StringEncrypt() or the binary RC4() by SkinnyWhiteGuy (or DES or several other he posted), or __StringEncrypt() by me?

Of course, if you are going to make it reversible (store the key with the encrypted item), then it will still be hackable...

Well, even using Binary, you're essentially converting it to hex twice there.. and you're only trying to convert it back once.

Using my string to hex methods because they are much much faster:

MsgBox(0,"",__StringToHex(Binary("Randy")))

msgbox(0,"",__HexToString(__HexToString("307835323631364536343739"))); Randy

Func __StringToHex($sString)
    Return Hex(StringToBinary($sString))
EndFunc

Func __HexToString($sString)
    If StringLeft($sString, 2) <> "0x" Then $sString = "0x" & $sString
    Return BinaryToString($sString)
EndFunc

But you should see your mistake in the 2nd message box.

Also take note on what PSalty is suggesting.
