Hi all,
I want to read in a file that has hex numbers, which are stored with
the “0x” hex prefix (i.e. 0x12345678). Is there a built in function
that will do the conversion, similiar to “to_i”, for hex numbers?
Also… is there something also for binary? Octal?
Thanks,

You can try with Integer
pigeon% ruby -e 'p Integer("0x12345678")'
305419896
pigeon%
pigeon% ruby -e 'p Integer("0b0001110")'
14
pigeon%
pigeon% ruby -e 'p Integer("01234567")'
342391
pigeon%
pigeon% ruby -e 'p Integer("1234567")'
1234567
pigeon%

You can use Integer on a string e.g.
irb(main):001:0> Integer(‘0xE84C’)
59468
irb(main):002:0> Integer(‘040’)
32
irb(main):003:0> Integer(‘0b1011’)
11
Hope this helps,
Mike

Yes, String#hex does this with or without the “0x” prefix; e.g.
"0x123".hex -> yields 291
"123".hex -> ditto
Also… is there something also for binary? Octal?
For octal numbers, it’s String#oct:
"123".oct -> yields 83
I don’t think there is a built-in for converting from binary numbers,
but there is a sample implementation in Hal Fulton’s excellent book,
“The Ruby Way”.
Hope this helps,
Lyle

For hex and octal you could use scanf
(scanf for Ruby, v.1.1.1), though the more general
solution of Integer might be better if you’re also doing binary.
(Hmmm… binary in scanf… hmmm…)

Integer() is probably your best bet, but there
is also scanf (see the RAA). scanf will work
with hex and octal, though not binary.

In 1.7, String#to_i takes optional base argument, e.g.
“111”.to_i => 111
“111”.to_i(2) => 7
“111”.to_i(8) => 73
“111”.to_i(10) => 111
“111”.to_i(16) => 273
matz.

I knew you would pick up on that, David.
I think adding binary to scanf is fine as long as
we don’t run out of alphabet. I.e., assuming %b is
the logical choice and it doesn’t already mean
something that we’re likely to implement in the
future.
