  There are only 10 types of people in this world: Those who understand binary and those who don't.

  That's the only thing I've understood from the last few posts. :)

  To all who responded, I send you my deep appreciation for finding the time to help me.

  I have chosen to go with One Drive. It has the results that I had in mind, without it being too complicated. 

  whilst tested, let's see if it works once we get under way.

  Many thanks again!

  As far as hex is concerned ........ 

  01001001 00100000 01100001 01101101 00100000 01100001 00100000 01101101 01100101 01110010 01100101 00100000 01100001 01101101 01100001 01110100 01100101 01110101 01110010

  I don't think so, Johnny!  lol.

  But that's binary ...  To convert binary to Hex, you split the byte (the 8 #'s your showing) into two bits (or two 4 digit numbers).  Then you convert each of these bits to hexadecimal, or base 16.

  Your first number ... 01001001 would be shown as 0100 | 1001.  The first half = 4, the 2nd = 9; so hex 49.

  Your example above, converted to Hex is ... 49 20 61 6D 20 61 20 6D 65 72 65 20 61 6D 61 74 65 75 72.

  Hex is a bit easier to read than binary ... just be sure to specify the character set.  While most computers now use ASCII, there is another character set known as EBCDIC   

  Most of the early mainframes used EBCDIC because it was easier to read the punched cards ... plus the full 8 bits were used.  ASCII originally used characters from 00 to 7F, reserving the most significant bit for cyclic redundancy checking or CRC

  Here's a phrase using EBCDIC ... E3 88 85 40 A2 88 89 A3 40 96 95 85 40 93 85 81 95 A2 40 96 95 40 E6 C7 E3 5A.

  lol..

  lol..

  My feeble brain, having deciphered the above, tells me that using EBCDIC 00037 the above is missing the letter 'R' or 'r' (whatever you prefer). I've fixed that for ya.

  lol..

  E3 88 85 40 A2 88 89 A3 40 96 95 85 40 93 85 81 99 95 A2 40 96 95 40 E6 C7 E3 5A.

   

  Thanks for the lesson - can I pull my pants up now?  lol

  Btw how'd the other 95% of my reply to your original question work for ya?

  Very interesting Johnny.  It's been years since I took HTML, and it was only for a semester.  I've forgotten pretty much everything I learned.

  So, looking at the HTML on your post reminded me of how much you can do with a table.

  C'mon Edward,

  Fixed that for ya ; "Wiger/Johnny typed binary........"

  Easy isn't it ?

  Whilst I'm here.

  Dear Kat, 

  WigerToods2010:

  I think the irony in my response above - I'd have thought the number of 'lol's' used throughout the full reply would have made it obvious - escaped your good self.

  As per though you chose to go down the 'belittlement route'. Pretty sure we've had this conversation before.

  A simple thanks was all I was after. Manners, dear gal, manners. 

  Here's a perfect example - a lesson if you will ;

  It appeared to me that I indirectly thanked you ... and I was being polite, too.

  My reply was better than ... "take your teeth out of the jar and bite me!" .... don't you think?

  In your own head, as per, quite possibly it would.

  Not at all. It's what you do best - appreciate the confirmation.

   

  Here's another couple of 'codes/languages' for your perusal ;

  1.  GI RF UY

  2.   ..I..

  #2 even predates that ole dinosaur EBCDIC - only just though.
