in thread hexadecimal character

I meant - which hex number is it returning? Is it the number 2, the number 9? How do I figure it out? When the string is printed out, it has a bunch of 'boxes' if you know what I mean. thanks

    Show us some code. Sounds like you are dealing with either control characters (are you managing line ends correctly?), binary data or possibly Unicode. There is no way we can solve your problem without knowing what you are actually trying to do.

    Show use some code. Show us some sample data. Keep the whole lot under 10 lines. (read I know what I mean. Why don't you? first perhaps.)
