Does Boost have hex/unhex() that support std::string? I can't find them and I think they'd be quite handy to have.
I don't know of any. (I'm assuming that you're talking about the calls from MySQL - http://www.java2s.com/Tutorial/MySQL/0460__String-Functions/0920__UNHEX.htm) I suspect, but haven't tried, that they would be one or two-liners in Boost.Spirit. You want something like this? template <typename InputIterator, typename OutputIterator> OutputIterator hex ( InputIterator first, InputIterator last, OutputIterator out ); template <typename InputIterator, typename OutputIterator> OutputIterator unhex ( InputIterator first, InputIterator last, OutputIterator out ); [ + range based versions ] [ + versions that work on char/wchar_t/short/int/long/long long, etc] -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software <mailto:mclow.lists@gmail.com> A.D. 1517: Martin Luther nails his 95 Theses to the church door and is promptly moderated down to (-1, Flamebait). -- Yu Suzuki
