Hexadecimal is a number system based on 16 (0-9, a=10, b=11, c=12, d=13, e=14 and f=15). So simply converting from hex to decimal is not so difficult. Do you know how your "timestamp" is made up??? Is it the same as a windows datetime base and just converted to hexidecimal - in other words a windows datetime can be thought of as a number, with the whole number being days from a certain point in time and the decimal portion being seconds for that day. Or is it some setup like mm/dd/yyy an each part is converted to hex? That will make a difference in how to extract the data you seek.
