I want to convert my pin+some text i have into a long.

I want this to be done at runtime, so the rightclicking wont help me.

Anyway i can do this?

Long.parseLong(String s)

that my friend, will give you an exception...

it's been a while since i did it but i think i remember that the jde uses the sha1 algorithm to create the long for use in key stores.

simon was thinking you just wanted to convert a long number represented by a string to long.

well... i wrote pin+some text

you wouldnt by any chance have a fancy method that did the work would u?

it was for a module that added the rim jde string to long functionality to netbeans, i used the bouncycastle digest:

SHA1Digest sha1Digest = new SHA1Digest();
sha1Digest.update(String2Convert.getBytes(), 0, String2Convert.length());
byte[] hashValBytes = new byte[sha1Digest.getDigestSize()];
sha1Digest.doFinal(hashValBytes, 0);
long hashValLong = 0;

for( int i = 0; i < 8; i++ ) {
hashValLong |= ((long)(hashValBytes[i]) & 0x0FF)<<(8*i);
}
String hexString = "0x" + Long.toHexString(hashValLong) + "L";
