I am trying to convert a text string in to hex values. I am at a loss
of how to get this done. I am also some what new to VC I have worked in
Unix C for a while though.

I am been searching the web for this but can't find the solution I am
looking for.

For example I need to convert the following

ATL100

to the hex equivlent string.

41544C 3130 30

A function or something would be helpful.

Well, if you are will to accept dashes in the string, it's just :

string input = "ATL100";
string output =
BitConverter.ToString(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(input));
Console.WriteLine(output);

41-54-4C-31-30-30
