Hex in a Format

[Azz00]

I do this

Result = Hex(10)

my result would come out
A

but i want the result to come out in this format

0x00000000

so my awnser should be

0x0000000A

How can i do this I dont want my awnser to come over 8 Digits Long so there is always 8 after the X

so say i did this

Result = Hex(something)

Result would be.

0x000000A1

etc so it never goes over 8
You Dig ?
how can i do this ?

Havn't this been aswered already

Please don't create multiple threads on the same question, but rather reply on the original, and thereby send it to the top of the thread list.

It was to Far back for me to Find and it wasnt awnsered because it didnt work
so yet again can i please get help ?

Just to make one thing clear, this is based on one of the answer you got in your last thread, so if this works, then the person, who wrote the code, I base this on, should be credited.

Private Function ToHex(ByVal Number As Long) As String
ToHex = "0x" & String(8 - Len(Hex(Number)), "0") & Hex(Number)
End Function

That Works in Part
if its just 1 Digit to be added it puts it on the last one of the 8 which is good but if its 2 say it adds a digit onto the 8

What are you talking about?

ToHex(0) = 0x00000000
ToHex(1) = 0x00000001
ToHex(10) = 0x0000000A
Tohex(100) = 0x00000064
ToHex(1000) = 0x000003E8

I can't see, whats wrong here.

Private Sub MakeHeader()
Vertices = (txtFaces.Text * 4) 'Do Mathmatics
Triangle = (txtFaces.Text * 2) 'Do Mathmatics
UVValues = (Triangle * 3) 'Do Mathmatics
Verticeshex = "0x" & String(8 - Len(Hex(Number)), "0") & Hex(Vertices)
Trianglehex = "0x" & String(8 - Len(Hex(Number)), "0") & Hex(Triangle)
UVValueshex = "0x" & String(8 - Len(Hex(Number)), "0") & Hex(UVValues)
txtOutput.Text = "word    " & Verticeshex & "                                      ;num vertices"
txtOutput.Text = txtOutput.Text & vbCrLf + "word    " & Verticeshex & "                                      ;num normals"
txtOutput.Text = txtOutput.Text & vbCrLf + "word    " & UVValueshex & "                                      ;num UVs"
txtOutput.Text = txtOutput.Text & vbCrLf + "word    0x00000000                                        ;num vertex colors"
txtOutput.Text = txtOutput.Text & vbCrLf + "word    " & Trianglehex & "                                      ;num triangles"
txtOutput.Text = txtOutput.Text & vbCrLf + "word    0x00000000                                        ;num BSP Nodes"
txtOutput.Text = txtOutput.Text & vbCrLf + "word    0x00000000                                        ;num animation sequences"
txtOutput.Text = txtOutput.Text & vbCrLf
End Sub

if I put in a Vaule that would just add 1 digit on end its fine

word 0x00000004 ;num vertices
word 0x00000004 ;num normals
word 0x00000006 ;num UVs
word 0x00000000 ;num vertex colors
word 0x00000002 ;num triangles
word 0x00000000 ;num BSP Nodes
word 0x00000000 ;num animation sequences

but if i Add 2 it just end up like this


word 0x000000028 ;num vertices
word 0x000000028 ;num normals
word 0x00000003C ;num UVs
word 0x00000000 ;num vertex colors
word 0x000000014 ;num triangles
word 0x00000000 ;num BSP Nodes
word 0x00000000 ;num animation sequences

Well Im having no Luck can anyone shed some light on the situation ?

a) it was yesterday

b) it worked, because I tested it.

I was working on a response which only 1/2 worked and before posting 1/2 a reply I checked back and Lo! there was the solution.

So if you think someone's solution doesn't work, well that's cool. Just continue the same thread with an explanation of why and let the thread flow.

Or piss off.

Ok Geez Im Sorry,
they did anwser but it didnt work for me
Im just looking for a bit of help thats all.

I don't think you have looked properly on the code you got, atleast you didn't implement it correctly.

This

Verticeshex = "0x" & String(8 - Len(Hex(Number)), "0") & Hex(Vertices)
Trianglehex = "0x" & String(8 - Len(Hex(Number)), "0") & Hex(Triangle)
UVValueshex = "0x" & String(8 - Len(Hex(Number)), "0") & Hex(UVValues)

Should be

Verticeshex = "0x" & String(8 - Len(Hex(Vertices)), "0") & Hex(Vertices)
Trianglehex = "0x" & String(8 - Len(Hex(Trianglehex )), "0") & Hex(Triangle)
UVValueshex = "0x" & String(8 - Len(Hex(UVValueshex)), "0") & Hex(UVValues)

lol thanks a lot
it works thanks !

[AIS_DK]

Your welcome!

But you really should find the post from yesterday, and give the guy I based my code, some credit too.
