My appologies... I double checked and realized I copied the code incorrectly. Heh. Should've used cut&paste instead of re-typing it.

The line should read:

std::cout << setw(2) << std::hex << (unsigned it)buf[i];

This did do the trick.With "using namespace std;" and the addition of "<< setfill('0')" I got very close to the result of printf( "%.2X ",buf[i]); This is my code snippet: for (i=0; i<max; i++) cout <<setfill('0')<<setw(2)<< hex <<(unsigned int)buf[i]<<" "; ===> 01 00 00 00 5a ff 00 f0 c3 e2 Note the capital X in the printf. Is there something similar for cout<< , that would give hex in capitals? Thanks for your trouble in helping me along. I am sure that other people on the list , who are interested in C++ will also appreciate your effort. John -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
