How to convert Hex into readable values

aaa
I have a third party DLL that downloads everything from a device to a
particular device into the following Hex format:

080 : 13 70 05 00 (Timestamp)
081 : 35 E1 91 F9 9F BF (Mode 1 Supported Parameters)

How would I go about translating this into readable values?

I assume that you're interested in converting from hex values to integers.
In this case I recommend the following:

Convert.ToInt16 ( string, base );
Convert.ToInt32 ( string, base );
Convert.ToInt64 ( string, base );

Each of these returns the respective integer. <string> is a string
containing the data to convert. <base> is the number base and must have a
value of 2, 8, 10 or 16.

..ARN.

That doesn't work.
int i = Convert.ToInt32 ( "B3 0C 00 20", 2 );

Try the following:

1) Take the spaces out of the string
2) use a base of 16 (for hexadecimal)

like this:

int i = Convert.ToInt32 ( "B30C0020", 16 );

When I tried this, I got a value of -1291059168 for i.

Using the following gave me a value of 3003908128:

Int64 i = Convert.ToInt64 ("B30C0020", 16 );

..ARN.

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong: the struct module docs say it's IEE 754, but I can't figure out how to get it to handle NaN values correctly (either packing or unpacking). >>> x = float('nan') >>> struct.pack("<f",x) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

Hi all, I am relatively new to socket programming. I am attempting to use raw sockets to spoof my IP address. From what I can tell I will have to build from the Ethernet layer on up. This is fine, but I am having some trouble with manipulating my hex values. Seems to me that there are two ways to store hex values: 1. as literal hex - 0x55aa 2. as a string - "\x55aa"

But if that's the only problem, isn't it trivial for you to just ignore the time part? Per above, what's stopping you from doing that? All you need to do is force the .Kind of the DateTime to UTC after reading it from the DB (it should be Unknown initialy). It isn't UTC, but that doesn't matter -- what matters is
