well the problem with printf was that when i used it and it returns the number values in the count i came across issues like.. a2 it comes out to 162. this means that if i have another byte like 1b that would be 27. say if i wanted to print 6 and the next byte was 68 the decimal value of that hex would be 104. and i would end up only printing 16227 because 104 is more than 6 digits. see the issue?

OK, I'm confused. You have the string "1aa23486b2" in your question. What is the output you want for this particular string of hex values?
