Subject: Newb on String to Hex for UDP packet

Guys im a total newb to ruby and i have been battling with something
that should be very simple, help!

the situation is this: i need to feed a program via user input an int or
worst case a hex string...

eg: Please enter last octect of IP address: user enters:123 or 7B

i then want to include that as a hex byte in a UDP packet and send it.

Eg: UDP = "/x00/x12/x23/(insert value in hex here)/x00/x00"

I managed to include the value in there but the resulting UDP packet is
sending the value in asccii,
the packet looks like: 00:12:23:31:32:33:00:00

i have tried a bunch of variations and nothing..

any help is appreciated.
