Guys im a total newb to ruby and i have been battling with something<br />
that should be very simple, help!<br />
<br />
the situation is this: i need to feed a program via user input an int or<br />
worst case a hex string...<br />
<br />
eg: Please enter last octect of IP address: user enters:123 or 7B<br />
<br />
i then want to include that as a hex byte in a UDP packet and send it.<br />
<br />
Eg: UDP = &quot;/x00/x12/x23/(insert value in hex here)/x00/x00&quot;<br />
<br />
I managed to include the value in there but the resulting UDP packet is<br />
sending the value in asccii,<br />
the packet looks like: 00:12:23:31:32:33:00:00<br />
<br />
i have tried a bunch of variations and nothing..<br />
<br />
any help is appreciated.

Ruby is an open-source dynamic object-oriented interpreted language that supports multiple programming frameworks including functional, object oriented and imperative. It also has a dynamic type system and automatic memory management. Ruby focuses on simplicity and productivity. Ruby's market share spiked due to Ruby on Rails, a model-view-controller (MVC) framework for building web applications.

A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard), while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common.
