presenting a string as a byte

[Guy&]

Hi

I have the following string :

"1F"

I need to present it as a BYTE

so if I have : BYTE array[2]

then -> array[0] = 0x1F

How can it be done?

Thank u

#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 
{
   const char* hexNum = "1F";
   int actualByte = 0;

   // one method
   istringstream is(hexNum);   
   is >> hex >> actualByte;
   cout << hex << actualByte << endl;

   // another method
   sscanf(hexNum, "%02x", &actualByte);
   cout << hex << actualByte << endl;

   return (0);
}
