Question

I dont know if I have the correct tiltle for this, so please correct me if I am wrong and I will change my title.

I have a string, for this example I will use:

"8ce4b16b"

I would like to shift the bits (I think) along 1 so the string would be:

"9df5c27c"

Any Ideas?

EDIT:

Just so you know, these strings are hex. So it will never reach z.
All I want to do is add a number to the numbers and progress one step through the alphabet so a->b, f->g ect ect

If the number is 9 there will be a condition to keep it as 9.

The output DOES NOT need to be a hex.

Also the string is only an example. It is part of an MD5 encryption.

Answer 1

Do you mean you want to increment each character in the string?
You can do that my iterating through the array and adding one to each character.
