Hi,

Is there a brainscript function for converting hexadecimal value to a decimal value?

I have an Inputstring which is a hexadecimal value. I want to convert it into decimal string.

e.g.
inputstring = A
outputstring = 10

inputstring = 2E
outputstring = 46

inputstring = 12
outputstring = 18

Hi alyon,

I have built this node that takes hex data as csv input and converts to decimal. You may need to change name of input field.

Ignore CSIAudit.brg request by clicking on Ok if prompts.

Jiken

Hi Jiken,

Thanks for your response and solution.

I have also developed a function to do the task,


length = hexString.strlen()
n = 0
decimalnumber = 0

while(n < length)
{
i = hexString.substr(length-1-n, 1).switch(
"0",0,
"1",1,
"2",2,
"3",3,
"4",4,
"5",5,
"6",6,
"7",7,
"8",8,
"9",9,
"A",10,
"a",10,
"B",11,
"b",11,
"C",12,
"c",12,
"D",13,
"d",13,
"E",14,
"e",14,
"F",15,
"f",15,
-1
)

if i == -1 then
{
decimalnumber = null
break
}

decimalnumber = decimalnumber + (i * pow(16,n))
n = n + 1
}

emit decimalnumber.str() as decimalString


I guess both functions will do the job, but having an inbuilt function would have been easy to use
