Long hexadecimal string record

Question

S. Hurley 1

Hi,

I am importing a large hexadecimal text file with strings up to 600 characters long. The file was created by COBOL.

Will I have a problem with carriage returns or can I just read it in line by line and then apply a format?

No idea. I don't how you plan to read the file, what you are reading it into etc. You need to be more specific.

Hi @S. Hurley

can I just read it in line by line and then apply a format?

Do you mean you want to convert between hexadecimal strings and numeric types?
