Hexidecimal->Decimal

How do I convert a hexidecimal number to a decimal number?

What's a hexidecimal number? :P

I'm not sure if that's a genuine question or just being rude about the spelling. That's my job.

You could do this just by going backwards through the string and multiplying each figure by the right multiple of 16, but I'm sure that there's an extension that can do this with a lot less hassle... I'm not sure which one it is, though.

Make sure that the hexadecimal value is in an mmf string beginning with 0x... ("0xFD8C50")... then simply use val(string) or int(string)... can't remember which one xD

Yay! That works! [grin]

Great
To convert a decimal value to hex, simply use the hex function... hex$(89)

Thanks!
