Finding a Character name

[benny3t3]

I overheard(saw) Hetoan2 saying that at least in Call of Duty games, you can find characters by searching for their names... How do you do that?

Please don't say ASCII, because I don't know what that means xD

MOD EDIT: fixed typos because I'm a grammar nazi

ASCII is just a standard way of representing letters using 8-bit values.

For instance, the string "benny3t3" in ASCII would look like

62656E6E 79337433

That's because

0x62 = the letter 'b'
0x65 = the letter 'e'
0x6E = the letter 'n'
etc

Either use the ASCII<->Hex converter on the Code Database's arsenel...

Or use the ASCII table yourself.  Note the "Hx" and "Chr" columns.

The translator doesn't convert Hex back to Words in this case. It'll take you a while to find out what this means!

Yeah, you are right, why is that I wonder?

Thanks, I'll figure that out eventually.

Hit the up caret (the ^ right above where the ASCII comes out as Hex)

I tried it; the result is a load of squares.
