Xstring help please.

Former Member — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 15:01:42 GMT

Hi all,

Scenario: I want to loop through an xstring and get each byte.

I want to then convert each byte into a character and equivalent ascii value.

eg. for the string 'Dylan'

I want to get a hex byte representing 'D' or the ascii value 68, and so on.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dylan.

Hi Dylan Scott-Dawkins ,

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Greetson

For coverting each character into ASCII

Use FM

URL_ASCII_CODE_GET

Do something like this...


n = STRLEN( text ).

i = 0.
do n times

call function URL_ASCII_CODE_GET
trans_char = text+i(1).
i = i + 1.

Perform ur logic with Char_code.
enddo.

For whole string (including SPACE) to be converted into ASCII use below FMs

NLS_STRING_CONVERT_FROM_SYS

SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING

Also have look on below link

Hope it will solve ur problem

Thanks & Regards
