Here's a Unix/Linux shell script that works like the Pick XTD verb, but that doesn't have a 32 bit limit. #!/usr/bin/sh echo 16 i $1 p | dc
Note: Hex digits A B C D E F must be entered as UPPER CASE. "dc" works with integers of 64 bits. Actually, "dc" works with integers of thousands of bits, but it gets a bit slow if you push the limits. # What "dc" does in this script: # 16 ... push 16 on the stack # i ... use the top of the stack as the input radix # $1 ... push shell command line arg on the stack # p ... pop the stack Some folks might think the above 2 line script just isn't cryptic enough, in which case, you can do it this way: #!/usr/bin/sh echo 16i$1p|dc *** The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and confidential information and is intended only for the use of the individual and/or entity identified in the alias address of this message.
