Does anybody have a script for converting a hexadecimal number into a decimal number. thanks

Hi,

sorry for my ignorance but is hexadecimal 12,22654587 and you want it to be 12,25 ?

If so, try a calculation instead of a script :

Int((your number field + .12) * 4) / 4

(Position("0123456789ABCDEF";Middle(Hex;1;1);1;1)-1) *16 +

(Position("0123456789ABCDEF";Middle(Hex;2;1);1;1)-1)

for 2-digit hex numbers.

for 3 digit:

(Position("0123456789ABCDEF";Middle(Hex;1;1);1;1)-1) *16*16 +(Position("0123456789ABCDEF";Middle(Hex;1;1);1;1)-1) *16 +

(Position("0123456789ABCDEF";Middle(Hex;2;1);1;1)-1)

and so on

Good Mornung UGO,

still at work?

[substitute the ";" for "," in the US)

I'm still working on my next version of the RussCalcs from Oz file (normally found under the samples section of this forum). So there still are some spare sections in this attachment - but the binary / octal / hex and generic Base (Base34 in the example) calculations are all done.

In the attached file, click on the BASE tab and you can see these calcs.

But if all you're after is the Hex to decimal calculation itself, here it is: This works from the Hex Input being in the Base_Hex_IP field (text). Maximum length of the Hex string this will handle is 12 (FFFFFFFFFFFF).

Case(

IsEmpty(Base_Hex_IP),0,

Position("0123456789ABCDEF",Right(Base_Hex_IP,1), 1, 1) -1 +

Case(Length(Base_Hex_IP)>1,(Position("0123456789ABCDEF",Middle(Base_Hex_IP,Length(Base_Hex_IP)-1,1), 1, 1) -1) * 16^1,0) +

Case(Length(Base_Hex_IP)>2,(Position("0123456789ABCDEF",Middle(Base_Hex_IP,Length(Base_Hex_IP)-2,1), 1, 1) -1) * 16^2,0) +

Case(Length(Base_Hex_IP)>3,(Position("0123456789ABCDEF",Middle(Base_Hex_IP,Length(Base_Hex_IP)-3,1), 1, 1) -1) * 16^3,0) +

Case(Length(Base_Hex_IP)>4,(Position("0123456789ABCDEF",Middle(Base_Hex_IP,Length(Base_Hex_IP)-4,1), 1, 1) -1) * 16^4,0) +

Case(Length(Base_Hex_IP)>5,(Position("0123456789ABCDEF",Middle(Base_Hex_IP,Length(Base_Hex_IP)-5,1), 1, 1) -1) * 16^5,0) +

Case(Length(Base_Hex_IP)>6,(Position("0123456789ABCDEF",Middle(Base_Hex_IP,Length(Base_Hex_IP)-6,1), 1, 1) -1) * 16^6,0) +

Case(Length(Base_Hex_IP)>7,(Position("0123456789ABCDEF",Middle(Base_Hex_IP,Length(Base_Hex_IP)-7,1), 1, 1) -1) * 16^7,0) +

Case(Length(Base_Hex_IP)>8,(Position("0123456789ABCDEF",Middle(Base_Hex_IP,Length(Base_Hex_IP)-8,1), 1, 1) -1) * 16^8,0) +

Case(Length(Base_Hex_IP)>9,(Position("0123456789ABCDEF",Middle(Base_Hex_IP,Length(Base_Hex_IP)-9,1), 1, 1) -1) * 16^9,0) +

Case(Length(Base_Hex_IP)>10,(Position("0123456789ABCDEF",Middle(Base_Hex_IP,Length(Base_Hex_IP)-10,1), 1, 1) -1) * 16^10,0) +

Case(Length(Base_Hex_IP)>11,(Position("0123456789ABCDEF",Middle(Base_Hex_IP,Length(Base_Hex_IP)-11,1), 1, 1) -1) * 16^11,0)
