You could try looping through the bytearray object and convert each element to is char equivalent but of course there are several problems with that:
#1 - the byte array can contain negative numbers (a "byte" is a signed 8 bit integer according to java.sun.com, ranging from -128 to +127 ... and there are no negative numbers in the ascii charts =) #2 - many of the character codes are not printable and would therefore not be human readable. Another alternative to make it "human readable" would be to just loop through the byte array and add each numeric value to a comma separate string (list) rick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:335011 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
