The code is:

code:

---

$version = Readvalue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion","ProductVersion")
rtrim(ltrim($version))
$jasper = DecToHex ($version)
messagebox ("$jasper","test",0)

---

and the error is:
55706351Script error : error in
$jasper = DecToHex ($version)

where the 55706351 is the decimal value of $version, though I need it in HEX...Anyone got anythoughts?

ps. I'm using Kixtart 95 v3.63

what happens if you replace :

rtrim(ltrim($Version))

with :

$Version = val($Version)

or just say :

$version = val(readvalue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion","ProductVersion"))

... just a guess

btw. 55706351 in HEX is 35202EF ... doesn't make sense either !?!

So now that I can convert it to hex, I need to evaluate if it's 7 or 8 characters long (truncated because there was a leading 0) and then chop the last 4 characters, and convert them back to dec. so this is a really annoying thing to have to do.
Thanks for the help,
Skorpyo

Is this what you're looking for?

code:

---

BREAK ON CLS
$dec="55706351"
$val=val($dec)
$hex=decToHex($val)
? $hex
$last=substr("$hex",len($hex)-3,len($hex))
? $last
$new=val("&$last")
? $new

---

code:

---

break on cls
$jasper = 55706351 ; or your readvalue  
$hex = dectohex($jasper)
$hex = substr($hex,len($hex)-3,4)
$c = 1
$jasper = 0
do
	$x = substr($hex,$c,1)
	select
		case $x = "A" $x = 10
		case $x = "B" $x = 11
		case $x = "C" $x = 12
		case $x = "D" $x = 13
		case $x = "E" $x = 14
		case $x = "F" $x = 15
		case 1 $x = val($x)
	endselect
	select
		case $c = 4
			$jasper = $jasper + $x
		case $c = 3
			$jasper = $jasper + $x * 16
		case $c = 2
			$jasper = $jasper + $x * 16 * 16
		case $c = 1
			$jasper = $jasper + $x * 16 * 16 * 16
	endselect
	$c = $c + 1
until $c = 5
$jasper ?
get $

???

I know it's a bit clumsy but hey that's 3.63 and it seems to be correct !
