Converting Hex to Decimal 2

[patraf]

Hi Folks,
I'm writing a script at the moment where I am searching through several files taking certain data from each one and displaying it in another file. This data is in Hex put I want it in decimal so that I am able to compare it with other results. Has anyone any ideas, all help would be grately appreciated!
Thanks Patrick.

Use the printf function as you would in C.

for (@hexvalues) {

printf OUTFILE("%d", $_);

}

Here's a script I call perl_hex_to_dec.pl:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my $a = "0x3f";

my $num = hex($a);

printf "hex=%x, dec=%d\n", $num, $num;

---------------------------------------------

Also, the perl "pack" and "unpack" functions can do things
with hex <-> decimal conversions.
