How can I convert a hex string to float, and vice-versa.

[John Uhlenbrock]

Any ideas? ie. "4476976c"-hex is approximately 986.366-float

I know I'm doing something unnecessary here, but it is sunday morning after all... X|

float a = 986.366;
float \*b = &a;

// this prints the bytes representing the float in mem
for(int i = 0; i < sizeof(float); ++i ) 
{
    printf("%2x", \*((unsigned char\*)b+i));
}
