Convert string to TSockAddr

Hi!

I am developing a small application in symbian in which I will connect to some bluetooth nodes.
Right now connections are established using a discovery function and checks for names. Works, but can be slow.

But I would like to connect to stored nodes at will, something which would require me to reassemble a textstring containing the bluetooth adress from a database and creating a TSockAddr to store in my TNameEntry out of it.
DB and such is implemented but can only store textual information.

Havent had much success in searching, so I am asking if anyone knows how this kind of reverse casting can be done.

What I want is basically this: TDesc -> TSockAddr

Thanks in advance /Björn
