Hello Heiko, I do not really know what you like to get, but the hex-number's in Python are usedd in a numeric representation. As far as I have seen in the interpreter, this depends on the value:
>>> a=0xaaaaabbbbbccccccddddddd >>> type(a) <type 'long'> >>> a=0xaabb >>> type(a) <type 'int'> If you like to see the number as a hex-String you can use >>> hex(a) '0xaabb' the representation as an octal number >>> oct(a) '0125273' HTH Ewald on Fri, 4 Feb 2005 14:18:28 +0100 "Tamm, Heiko" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote : --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tamm, Heiko > Hello, Tamm, Heiko > Tamm, Heiko > I like to know, if it's possible to convert a Hex number into String or Tamm, Heiko > other formats?
