Title: Hex To Decimal and Decimal to Hex
Post by: MrTAToad on 2009-Mar-04
No checking is done with the conversion from hex to decimal to make sure the passed string is a valid hex character.

Code (glbasic) Select

It's cool, but why not just go inline C and sprintf or something ?

Because that would exclude all GLBasic users that doesn't have the full package.

Ahhh ... didn't think about that.

the old 2009 hexToDec function fails with value xFFFFFFFF because it returns value -1 instead of 4294967295.
This instead is the one that returns the correct value. For those who had used the old one please check
ad maiora

FUNCTION hexToDec#:_HEX$
LOCAL i%=0
LOCAL j#=0
LOCAL loop%
   _HEX$=UCASE$(_HEX$)
   LOCAL start%=LEN(_HEX$)-1
   FOR loop%=start TO 0 STEP-1
      i=ASC(MID$(_HEX$,loop,1))-48   //0=48 A=65
      IF i>9
         DEC i,7
      ENDIF
      j=j+i*POW(16,start-loop)
   NEXT
RETURN j
ENDFUNCTION

There is a builtins HEX$(), are you aware of that?

HEX$() ? I thought it only transforms from decimal to hexadecimal.
Or am I wrong?
I need the opposite. HEX2DEC

Ah. Try this:
Code (glbasic) Select

IMPORT "C" int strtol(const char* str, int endptr, int base)
LOCAL str$ = "ff"
LOCAL n% = strtol(str$, 0, 16)

Thanks Gernot for the great help  :booze:, However for high hex, like 0xFFFFFFFF the strtol function overflows. It seems to be better strtoul.
ad maiora

a#=hex2dec("F234FFF0")
PRINT a,0,0
SHOWSCREEN
MOUSEWAIT
END

IMPORT "C" unsigned long strtoul(const char* str, int endptr, int base)
FUNCTION hex2dec#: str$
   LOCAL n# = strtoul(str$, 0, 16)
   RETURN n
ENDFUNCTION
