in thread Function to produce formatted ord values of a string

Tell me if I'm wrong: I think it's dangerous to use split (character vs byte, unicode). With unpack it's less ambiguous.

    Well, given the sprintf format specification you are using, Unicode is not forseen anyway in your code, but in general: I don't see, why split should be unsafe (it operates on characters, which includes unicode characters), while unpack operates on bytes. Hence, maybe it is unpack which is dangerous, but since I don't have experience with unpack, I leave this question to more knowledgable monks...
