The documentaion about val (https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/system/val.html) clearly says it handles binary, hexadecimal and octal input. and so does the docs about StToInt (https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/strtoint.html). -- Bart _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [email protected] https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
