    Hello

    I've googled this but I'm not getting much joy.

    Does anyone know of an easy way to read/write hex from/to a file in C?

    Thank you.

    OK I have reading in hex working, but writing out hex?
    void read(char *filename, unsigned char *message) {

		FILE *fp;

		fp=fopen(filename, "r");

		int i = 0;

		while(!feof(fp))  {
      			fscanf(fp, "%x", &message[i]);
      			i++;
		} 

		fclose(fp);
}

    Ah got it.
    void write(char *filename, unsigned char *message) {

		FILE *fp;

		fp=fopen(filename, "w");

		// i know i'm only going to write 8 bytes
		for(int x = 0; x <8; x++)
      			fprintf(fp, "&#37;x", message[x]);

		fclose(fp);
}
