Program to convert Hexadecimal to its Character equivalent

**nathanernest** · April 7th, 2009, 10:44 PM

Hey all!

I have a problem lol.

I am trying to convert a hexadecimal value to its character equivilent.

The specific task is a school assignment and I am very open about this. I need to import a file which contains the contents of the said hexadecimal values, read the file and display the characters on the screen.

I have EVERYTHING done except fot the actual conversion lol. I have the import, printing even the loops to read the file from start to finish. All I need now is to know how to actually do the conversion lol. Is there an easy way to do this?

So my simple question is this.

String fileContents = 004e
//convert the file contents here
Println(character)

finished.

How can this be done?
\
Thanks all!!!

Hello nathanernest and welcome to the Java Programming Forums

To convert the fileContents String to its corresponding character value, you will probably need a load of 'if' statements.

Can you please post the code you have so far, including the file it reads and I will take a look.

Here is an example:

String fileContents = 004e
 
if(fileContents.equals("004e")){
System.out.println("E")
}
