Convert Binary Data to Hex

[Stripey]

How can I convert a buffer of binary data (unsigned char) to hex for displaying?

well, first off, if the character buffer is NOT in base 10 you will need to use strtol to convert it.

i.e. if your buffer looks like "10010010011110" you would do

char* buffer[] = "10010010011110";
char* endPtr;
int val = strtol(buffer,endPtr,2); // 2 is the base

if you just want to print the output in hex format, sprintf or CString::Format with a %x will do that for you.

I doubt if the question was what Matt meant.
May be simply
for(ii=0; ii<buf_size; ii++) printf(&quot;%02x&quot;, buf[ii]);
