<p>Hi there,</p>
<p>I want to write a function as a plugin to convert a 4 byte hex
string like "405f612f" to float/double (3.49031 in this case).<br>
</p>
<p>An easy way to do so in C++ is this:<span
class="code-preprocessor">
</span></p>
<pre id="pre205399" style="margin-top: 0px;" class="notranslate" lang="C++"><span class="code-keyword">#include</span><span class="code-preprocessor"> <span class="code-keyword"><</span><span class="code-leadattribute">sstream</span><span class="code-keyword">></span>
</span></pre>
<pre id="pre205399" style="margin-top: 0px;" class="notranslate" lang="C++"><span class="code-keyword">union</span> ulf
{
<span class="code-keyword">unsigned</span> <span class="code-keyword">long</span> ul;
<span class="code-keyword">float</span> f;
};
<span class="code-keyword">int</span> main()
{
ulf u;
string str = <span class="code-string">"</span><span class="code-string">405f612f"</span>;
stringstream ss(str);
ss >> hex >> u.ul;
<span class="code-keyword">float</span> f = u.f;
cout << f << endl;
}</pre>
<p>Unfortunatly, to use "stringstream" I will have to include the
<sstream> header file. Is this possible to do in plugin
functions?<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Dane<br>
