What makes you think this conversion is necessary?
It helps to start by describing your problem from a high-level perspective (that is, far from concerns about how to code it).

Do you mean how do you convert from hex to bin?
eg Oxff = 1111 1111 ?........I think

put the hexadecimal number like "\x42" then you get corresponding ascii value for that number

Is this just one hexidecimal number that is less than 256? If it is, just cast it to a char.
Edit:
Oh, sorry, didn't read your original post. Looks like the link zodilla found may have something. You just need a way to convert a string of two hex digits to a number. You could use a strstream object's extraction operator.
