Convert selection to hex escaped form

This script converts the selection to escaped hex form as used in C. Use Undo to remove the converted form.

For example "abc" -> "\x61\x62\x63", "ŠçïTÊ" in Latin-1 -> "\x8a\xe7\xef\x54\xca", "ŠçïTÊ" in UTF-8 -> "\xc5\xa0\xc3\xa7\xc3\xaf\x54\xc3\x8a".

-- Convert a string to a string of hex escapes

function Hexify(s) 

  local hexits = ""

  for i = 1, string.len(s) do

    hexits = hexits .. string.format("\\x%2x", string.byte(s, i))

  end

  return hexits

end
