Way cool guys. Here's my $0.02:

set str to "Best of all possible worlds."
on str2hex(theString)
do shell script "echo -n " & theString & " | hexdump -v -e '1/1 \"x\"'"
end str2hex
str2hex(str)

Wicked fast OMM.

Damn! I completely forgot the -n option for 'echo' while posting my hexdump-based converter at the end of December; but I clearly remember having been very, very disappointed to have to resort to the 'text 1 through -3' part.
Nous sommes vraiment bien peu de choses... ;-)

Anyway, thanks for the reminder!
