"FF" to 255?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How can I get an highlighted version of a
color.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That is, how can I find the code of a color wich
is a lighter version of another color.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I tryed to do this myself but I need, for
instance, to know how to get a number from a string representing an
hexadecimal number.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I could then add some value to RGB components and
use RGB(newred, newgreen, newblue) to get that color.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I found Hex function that returns a string
representing the hexadecimal convertion of a number.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there an inverse function to turn a string
into a number?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Something like afunc("FF") that returns
255.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks</FONT></DIV>
