B4J Question ParseHexToFloat

[Declan]

Hi, I am trying to parse the data as follows:

' Input Data (cFrame) HEX = 53193315451c0a2d2a410000
    Dim GEOLat As String
    Dim GEOLon As String

GEOLat = cFrame.SubString2(2,8)
GEOLon = cFrame.SubString2(10,16)
GEOLat = ParseHexToFloat(GEOLat)
GEOLon = ParseHexToFloat(GEOLon)

Sub ParseHexToFloat(hex As String) As Float
    Dim BC As ByteConverter
    Return BC.FloatsFromBytes(BC.HexToBytes(hex))(0) '<<---Error
End Sub

I Receive the following Error:

Error occurred on line: 103

Think you need to help the compiler determine what the string represents
Try

GEOLat = "0x" & cFrame.SubString2(2,8)
GEOLon = "0x" & cFrame.SubString2(10,16)

Thanks, but not working:

GEOLat = "0x" & cFrame.SubString2(2,8)

Gives: 0x193315

GEOLon = "0x" & cFrame.SubString2(10,16)

Gives: 0x1c0a2d

A float should be represented as 4 bytes, you are only passing 3.
