There is this gay who write Joke-messages to me with codes like this: 26111145HEX 56562245HEX 32311645HEX. But this gives no mening to me if I convert hex to Chr. So what can this code mean? Any idea?

How do you convert hex into letters anyhow

First, you need to know what character system the numbers are supposed to be using. The value for the letter 'A' is 65 decimal (41 hex) in ASCII, but something like 192 decimal (C0 hex) in EBCDIC. I could be way off on the EBCDIC value, because it's been a while. The point is, saying 41hex without knowing the character set, means nothing. It's probably a safe assumption that your friend is using ASCII. Although if he/she is, I'd say that they don't know what they are doing. In ASCII, printable characters range from 20hex to 7Ehex, so it would appear that there are very few printable characters in the above messages. Another clue that the 'code' isn't ASCII printable characters represented in hex is that there are no 'digits' in the A - F range. When representing ASCII characters in hex, typically you'd list each character as a two digit number. So I might list my name (Don) as 446F6E, where 44 is the hex value for an ASCII 'D', 6F is the hex value for an ASCII 'o', 6E is the hex value for an ASCII 'n'. Note, the 'value' of the ASCII character 'D' is the same whether you represent it in decimal, hex, octal or any other number system. The ASCII value for 'D' is 68 decimal, 44 hex, 104 octal, or 125 base 7. All of those are the same number, just represented in different number systems (68 == 44hex == 104octal). To convert numbers to letters, you need to know the 'base' of the numbers (decimal, hex, octal, etc), the character set (ASCII, EBCDIC, etc) and then you need a chart/table of the character set, ie 68 == 'A', 69 == 'B', 111 == 'o', 32 == space, etc (in ASCII).

Ahhhh. The good ole days of number systems... I didn't trade "secret codes" with anyone though :( no fair. Don... Base 7? What would be a good name for that? How about Sevtal, since Base 8 is Octal? I agree, isn't ASCII (if it is, its garbage) for the reason Don mentions "Another clue that the 'code' isn't ASCII printable characters represented in hex is that there are no 'digits' in the A - F range." Wonder what the base could be? hmmm. Wonder if it is just random junk... or a brain teaser... Oh... When I had an Intro to Artificial Intelligence class in college our first assignment was a number sequence... 10 points to who ever can tell me the next sequence of numbers after the last one that I list... 1 11 21 1211 111221 312211 13112221 1113213211 31131211131221 (there ya go... so what is the next number sequence? anyone??? (this should be interesting)) Infinite Recursion

Well, I think this is a brain teaser as this gay who are sending me the messages say's they have a meaning. He is Norwegian, so if they means something it will be in Norwegian. Thanks.

Hans I assume that you mean 'guy' rather than 'gay'.

Ups!! Well, since he keep sending me these messages I'm not sure what to call him! *lol*
