I have a byte array that contains a string like 1c1ba2... etc
I would like to print out 5 digits. so for example:

1c = 28
1b = 27
a2 = 162

my output needs to be five digits long so 28271.

I thought about using printf but it seems like when i use it it reports the count
its shows 1 more than there should be

so 1b = 27 but printf report 3. does printf do some kind of padding?...
