Decimal to Hex Conversion Tooling?

[First Spear]

Hey all. I have a long string of numbers in a text file. I am looking for a program or technique to convert all of the values to hex equivalents in Windows, changing them in the text file. Before I go off in the weeds and code something, I thought I would ask what the gurus are using. The values are used in IntyBASIC. It's kind of academic since Decimal values work, but it is inconsistent where the rest of my programs use Hex.

 

Thanks.

Thanks playa, but I need to do this a lot, so I am looking for a (command line) tool that will do it.

Thanks playa, but I need to do this a lot, so I am looking for a (command line) tool that will do it.

 

 

 

For only this set of data or for several sets of data? Is it possible to modify the tool this data comes from to output hex instead?

Scroll down to the decimal window and hit convert. Your set will appear in all the other windows. Tho you'll need to replace the commas again (easy enough to search&replace the spaces in a text editor).

I typically employ custom Perl scripts to do this sort of work for me. If you have Perl installed, I can whip up something quick for you.

 

-dZ.

Thanks for the offer. Just to get by, I am going to use the website from Nukey. I will end up making another QnD console app in C# since the conversion will have to be part of a muti-step process, I discovered last night.

If you have access to sed, awk and od (i.e. Linux, *BSD but also present in Msys for Windows or other type of coreutils or binutils), you can get rather far with this little script. The bug lies in that you get a leading comma on each row and that od only groups eight hexadecimal numbers per row (unless you add the -w parameter to get more bytes per row), so you might want to concatenate rows afterwards.

#!/bin/sh
sed -e 's/,/\n/g' $1 | awk '{ high = int($1/256); low=$1-(high*256); printf "%c%c",low,high }' | od -An -x | sed -e 's/ / ,\$/g'
exit 0

I usually just use bc and vi under Linux, myself, if it were just a one-off. Or, like dZ says upthread, whip up a Perl script to do it if I have many to do. All of these are available under Windows, but aren't really Windows-native solutions.

 

With Perl, something short like this might work, if your input consisted solely of lines with decimal numbers separated by commas and whitespace:

.

while (<>)
{
    my @data = split /\s*,\s*/;
    if (!@data)
    {
        print $_;
        next;
    }
    my @hex = map { sprintf '$%04X', $_ } @data;
    print( join( ',', @hex ) );
}

.

Sure, we could code-golf that into less code, but you get the idea.

You can also do that in a browser console, using either FireBug or the built-in debugging tools which are usually accessible by pressing F12.

[ 604, 570, 570, 570, 570, 570, 538, 538, 508, 339 ].map(function(n) { return '$' + n.toString(16); }).join(', ')

(list shortened for readability)

 

In recent versions of Firefox, the content of an alert box can be selected and copied to the clipboard (that may be true for other browsers but I don't know for sure). Therefore, you can also put that directly in the address bar of a non-blank page:

javascript:alert([ 604, 570, 570, 570, 570, 570, 538, 538, 508, 339 ].map(function(n) { return '$' + n.toString(16); }).join(', '))

(You may have to add 'javascript:' manually. It gets automagically truncated after a copy/paste of the whole string, at least in my version of Firefox.)

And by the way: can someone please explain me how to add spacing before/after code snippets in AtariAge? I just can't figure it out. ^^
