Convert a byte array to a String with a hexidecimal format.
The String may be converted back to a byte array using fromHexString.
<BR>
For each byte (b) two characaters are generated, the first character
represents the high nibble (4 bits) in hexidecimal (<code>b & 0xf0</code>), the second character
represents the low nibble (<code>b & 0x0f</code>).
<BR>
The byte at <code>data[offset]</code> is represented by the first two characters in the returned String.
@param data byte array
@param offset starting byte (zero based) to convert.
@param length number of bytes to convert.
@return the String (with hexidecimal format) form of the byte array
