I have binary data in a field and I would like to convert it to hex values.</P> <P>Sample data:</P> <PRE><CODE>��&#27;&#23;��&#3;$P/�Dl ���&#15;�&#8;��E&#2;��4&#2;K@��v&#6;���3&gt;n� � </CODE></PRE> <P>I do not simply want to strip this data because I actually would like to do something with it once it's been converted.</P> <P>I also would like to do it preferably using an <CODE>eval</CODE> statement so I can create a field calculation based on this.</P> <P>Any thoughts or ideas?</P> Tue, 03 Mar 2020 00:40:54 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-to-convert-ASCII-characters-to-their-Hex-values/m-p/481389#M193082 datorres 2020-03-03T00:40:54Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-to-convert-ASCII-characters-to-their-Hex-values/m-p/481390#M193083 <P>It is too late; it went in wrong.
