I want to read 4 bytes and convert them to a string so that for instance [44 4A 44 3A] look like "444A443A" so that I can name the files after a series of bytes.
Looked around the documentation for hours, but can't find how to do that, if that can be done.

How is this done in a BMS script?

Edit: Just saw that there WAS a help section for QuickBMS. wow I have missed that for years lol. So, move this there if you want to.

Anyway one method is the following:

Code:

math VAR = 0x444A443A
string STR = VAR
print "%STR%"

I tried this, but it displays the string of the value, so "48 8A BA DE" becomes "HS??".

I want to read 4 bytes from the file and use the hexadecimal values as the name of the file, but it always translate them to the string counterpart(or an integer)

So to further explain, I want to read hexadecimals and also display the hexadecimals and NOT the strings or integers that those hexadecimals represent.
I want 48 8A BA DE to display as the same thing but as a string, but NOT convert it to a string, but display 48 8A BA DE when i do "print" or name a file.

Edit: Here is how I am setting the name:

Code:

string NAME p "%s\%s\%s" FOLDER "OFFSET" "AES1"

AES1 is just

Code:

get AES1 long

Edit2: After LOTS of looking in the documentation, I figured out you need to use "%x" to display the Hex values.
So the end result should look like this:

Code:

string NAME p "%s\%s\%x" FOLDER "OFFSET" "AES1"

or

Code:

string NAME p "%s\%s\%X" FOLDER "OFFSET" "AES1"

for uppercase letters.

ok you already found the solution

Maybe you want to use x instead of %x for giving a fixed size to the hex
