Funny Thing :) This number seems to be simply a concatenation of the hex values.. (0x72616A61, where 'r' is 0x72, 'a' is 0x61 and 'r' is 0x6A) I would recommend to use a for loop, to print the ascii values of each individual Charakter...

~ swim ~ That's alright, I was just asking if there was a way to know if the result was valid. I thought we'd get some error message when conversion fail, but I guess it doesn't have to be (in doubt).
