I think he wants a function which takes a string like

code:

---

var string = "ÿü"

---

and turns it into

code:

---

var newstring = "\xFF\x00\xFC"

---

or by the looks of his code

code:

---

var newstring = "\xFF\x00\xFC\x00"

---

In other words, he wants to take each character in the string, turn them into the hex unicode notation ("\x__"), insert "\x00" between each character and return the whole thing as a string. For example, SetDataPatch("abc") will return "\x61\x62\x62".

As far as I know, a function like this is completely useless because "a" === "\x61" (someone correct me on this one ). However, if the function is to give "\\xFF\\x00\\xFC\\x00" (which will display as "\xFF\x00\xFC\x00" to the user), you can use this:

code:

---

function SetDataPatch(string) {
   var newstring = "";
   for(var i = 0; i < string.length; i++) {
      newstring += "\\x" + string.charCodeAt(i).toString(16) + "\\x00";
   }
   Debug.Trace(newstring);
   return newstring;
}
