Please always reply to the group. if your $var contains the string ff, you can print to decimail like this: $var = ff; $dec = hex($var); print $dec; or if you have $var contain an actual hex num string: $x = 0xff; print $x; perl will print the dec value automatically. even better you can use sprintf and pack, unpack to do these kind of things $x = 0xff; $dec = sprintf("%d", $x); print $dec; --- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
