Could someone point me in the right direction please...

I wish to convert a Hex number from an AnsiString ("6F" for example) to it's
ASCII character ("o" in this case) for appending to another AnsiString.

i.e. "48 65 6C 6C 6F" becomes "Hello"

I can split the first string and append to the second no problem, it's the
conversion in the middle I'm stuck on. I thought StrToInt(); might be the
way to go but it throws an exception on the non-numeric text. It seems
logical to me to keep it Ansi rather than convert to a char, atoi(); it then
convert back again or is that the only way? Googling has provided just about
every conversion but the one I need and Borlands help... isn't any! :) I'm
using Builder 6 but perhaps this is done in Delphi?

I know there are groups out there specifically for C++ etc. but the PICList
is such a good information/experience resource I thought I'd try here first.

Thanks in advance.
