perl pack equivalent in lua

[baggins]

Thanks admin.

Now, I am developping this script not on LM but on a 'normal' Linux box, because I don't want to use the LM that is in production... Is there some standard lua equivalent for lmcore.hextostring?

Also the perl script converts the command to a readable string for logging purposes:

Code:

$commandhex =~ s/(.)/sprintf("0x%x ",ord($1))/eg;

How would that be done in lua?

Thanks!
