Re: [Boost-users] Converting Timestamp into hex of 8 bytes

I have a string Timestamp of 1383889129 which on ONLINE conversion from string to hex gives a 10 bytes as "31 33 38 33 38 38 39 31 32 39".

The above is not "conversion from string to hex", but merely a hex representation of every ascii character in "1383889129" string.

But, the need is to have the TIMEStamp in 8 bytes only.

It's unclear what you want exactly. If you need a time-stamp as a number, use boost::lexical_cast<int>("1383889129") or any other ascii-to-int conversion.
