**IF** I understand what you are trying to do....
you are halfway there in both cases, and is fairly easy.
I think what you want is:
String+Hex[[1]]+Hex[[2]]+...+Hex[[n]]
Example:
"This is my string of which I want the length"
(decimal) 44 characters
44 (dec) = 2C (hex)
final value:
"This is my string of which I want the length2C
so...
$Text:=<text to work with>
$Hex_Length_txt:=myutl_Convert_to_Hex(LENGTH($Text))
$Text:=$Text+$Hex_Length_txt
code for converting to hex:
PHP Execute("";"dechex";$Hex_Value;$Decimal_Value)
NOTES:
- this has a max decimal conversion value of +/- MAXLONGINT
- the hex value is returned in $Hex_Value
- "dechex" is the PHP library command
- first empty string is library path ("" = main/basic PHP library)
