hey all
i have search long and hard for a quick solution to a hex to array convertor,
strol() just hasen't provided the intended result, or maybe i am doing it wrong.
what i need is an array representation of a converted hex number:
pseudo
hexToArray(hex)
{

return array;
}
array = hexToArray("FFFFFF"); // this should yeild (255,255,255);
