Ok I understand that. But when I have a hexadecimal message string with fixed length, and the positions inside the string carry semantics? A certain value in a certain position has a meaning?
Say fixed length is 96 like in the example above, and 2323 ist two start chars, and then 01 or 02 is a handshake. And this message has to be translated to ASCII to be understood by a third party, that sends ASCII answers back, that has to be translated to hex. This does not work when a round-trip conversion of 232301 results in 23231. Tomas Hlavaty <picolisp@software-lab.de> schrieb am Di., 13.
