Hi,
If the size of the integer isn't an issue... maybe just concatenate the values together... only problem is if you use ascii to decimal A starts at 65 and z ends at 122... so you’d have to use padding up to 100 to keep all the values the same length... but if you use the Octal values A starts a 101 and z end at 172. abcd = %141%142%143%144 = 141142143144 On 11 October 2011 07:24, Tom Gao <t...@tomgao.com> wrote: > Yep true I realised that… it was my fault I wasn’t specific enough with my > question.
