In DBpro you can convert a hex string to a dword value using 'hex to decimal':

myValue = hex to decimal("0x000000ff")

AGK can convert a value into a hex string:

myString = Hex(255)

does it have any way built in to convert the hex string back into a value without having to roll my own parser? I'm not really seeing anything in the help files.

Thanks all,



It's clunky, but it gets the job done I guess...

I suspect the VAL() function will support not only Decimals but Hex and Binary also.. So give it a try..

I did try that before posting, unfortunately it does not seem to.

print(val("0xff"))
print(val("ff"))
print(val("0x0000ff"))

all yield 0

I think Val will do it but you need to specify the base so 16 in this case.

Val(yourHex$, 16)

Just checked and in fact the example actually shows converting from hex.
