Questions about GLBasic

[Slydog]

Here's a Hex to Int conversion function I found in my old code:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

FUNCTION HexToInt%: hex$
LOCAL i%=0
LOCAL j%=0
LOCAL loop%

FOR loop = 0 TO LEN(hex$)-1
i = ASC(MID$(hex$, loop, 1)) - 48
IF i > 9
DEC i, 7
ENDIF

j = j * 16
j = bOR(j, bAND(i, 15))
NEXT

RETURN j
ENDFUNCTION

[Edit] Ha, apparently I got my code from MrTAToad in that link posted by dreamerman!

I wrote:

One has to create a function containing INLINE code to call the sscanf function that will do the conversion.

I should have said that one "could" create a function that calls scanf from within INLINE code.

Of course, as has been pointed out by previous posters, one can create a FUNCTION containing pure GLBASIC code that will do the same Hex to Dec conversion.

Well, INLINE really seems to be useful at times. I doubt that I will have to use it though.
However, I really like the idea behind it.
