String -> Bytes

[petbo2]

Hi everyone!

Quick question:

 

I have a string with a byte code in it (e.g 142), and I want to convert it to a byte... How do I do this?

 

Also, does anyone have an efficient method in removing one character many times from a string? e.g remove "b" from this string: 567b9898b969b798b098b?

 

Thanks,

 

Pete

For the 1st one you could do something like

Dim s As String = "142"
Dim b As Byte
b = Byte.Parse(s)

for the second something like

Dim s As String = "567b9898b969b798b098b"

Dim s2 As String
s2 = s.Replace("b", String.Empty)

should do the trick
