Re^2: Split any number into string of 8-bit hex values (=1 byte)

Your regex code is impressive to say the least!
It replicates my output verbatim.

But this fuzzy requirement about the number of bytes to be output seems odd to me.
I updated my post with what I hope is a clear question to the OP.

I guess we shall see what, if anything develops from that.

I do have another regex ready in case the OP wants answers that are ONLY 1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes long. We'll just have to wait...	[reply]

Yes please :-) If I'd convert anything from a quad and then remove unnecessary leading zeros so that I'd end up with 1, 2, 4 or 8 bytes I'm thinking that this should work. What does the regex look like?	[reply]
