Not true. According to the reference, hex numbers should be assigned as $x** or 0x**, without using the quotation marks.
Like
var = $xBF
pos = "\x11"; is a string and it's a string that is used in oscii-bot to send sysex data to the controller. The function's name itself suggests it: midisend_
str
And the issue is that when a string is set explicitly, it's recognized by oscii-bot as a hex number, but when it's constructed with
strcat(pos, sprintf(#, "\\x%X", position));
it's, suddenly, a text string.
At the very same time, this code
strcat(lcdTrackName,sprintf(#,"%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s",l cdSysexHeader,lcdSetCursor,"\x00",lcdRTLine,lcdTex tStart,str2hex(sysexInput),lcdTextEnd, lcdSysexEnd));
is also a string, but it's a proper sysex message. This is what I can't understand.
Even
"%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s" in the code line above suggests that "\x01" in
lcdSetCursor = "\x01"; and any other part of the message is a string and not a hex number.
P.S. I feel that dec numbe should be converted into hex number and the result is put into a string. The question is, how to the conversion in EEL2.
