Manipulating Strings

[tehCoosh]

First off, I want to say thank you to everyone on this fourm. You've all been so helpful in the past

My problem:
I want to take a string and convert it to hex. Then I want take each hex value and convert it to a different hex value. Lets say character one = 70, change it to 73.

Example:
String = Hello
Convert String to Hex which is: 48 65 6c 6c 6f
Take each hex value and change it to a different value.
48 -> 52
65 -> 55
etc.
After that, combine the hex values back into 1 string.

Thanks in advance

Edit:
Couldnt find an edit button :-/

I want each hex value, to have a set hex value to convert to.
Example:
Hex value is 48
When converting, program looks up what value to change 48 into (such as 49) then converts it to that.

It looks as if you may be trying to obfuscate a text string - if so do a search on this forum for 'cryptoapi' where you may find better text encryption solutions.

Otherwise look at Mid$, Chr$ and Asc functions

Ok I have my problem solved, last question.

How to I convert an ascii value (long) to a string? Ive searched msdn and couldnt find my answer.

An ASCII value is an Int. If you're seeing a Long it may be a Unicode character. If so have a look at the ChrW function.

There are some guidelines on forum usage at faq222-2244 which include some pointers for your basic research, which you may find helpful
