hexadecimal string in notepad

[Nishar Federer]

Hi,

 

Can anyone suggest me a way to add the hexadecimal string to the notepad file ? Because currently i am getting only junk characters .

What do you actually want?  What have you actually tried?  Writing a string to a file shouldn't be difficult, and should be something covered in the first hour of a LabVIEW basics example.

It sounds like you want to store a binary string to a file and then open it and see the hexadecimal values for the bytes.  Notepad only displays file contents as ASCII characters, so you cannot see the actual byte values, only the ASCII characters that correspond to the byte values (the "junk characters" you are seeing).  Can't you just use LabVIEW to view the contents of the binary file?  Read the bytes into a string indicator and set the display mode to "Hex Display".

You could use something like Hex Edit to look at your file.  Personally, I am a fan of Ultra Edit, which has a hexadecimal view.

Notepad++ https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ is similar to UltraEdit in functionality and has a plugin "Hex-Editor" that you can install, that allows you to view a file in hex display format.
