humbleSage YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 4	Converting strings to binary... Jan 13th, 2010, 8:35pm   I'm actually pretty embarrassed to ask this question because it feels like it should be so simple, but I'm building an application that generates glyphs and patterns based on imported text. It's a project I'd really like to see through, but this is a pretty big part of it.   Thanks to anyone with any ideas.

Reply #2 - Jan 13th, 2010, 9:01pm   Thank you a million times over Cedric!!  I know I'm new to this, but even still, I can't believe I wasn't able to figure that out.  Of course there would be a binary() that I overlooked.  I should sleep more.  haha!!
