Is there a simple way, like a one liner perhaps, that will give me the octal/hex value of a character? I need to look certain characters up, so I would like to be able to give it something like an 'a' or even "\n" and have it answer 141 or 012 (assuming UNIX). Thanks for your time.

VB.NET: How to convert hexadecimal number to normal (decimal) number?
Hi to all VB.NET function Hex() converts numbers to hexadecimal strings, is there any reverse function that converts hexadecimals back to numbers?? Thanks, Hooker Hi, how are you? In C#, we have something like: Convert.ToInt32(string strValue, int Base)... So I basically can do: Int iDecimal = Convert.ToInt32("AF8", 16); I'm pretty sure there must be something like it on VB.Net.

PowerBuilder number
I have received "438" for resultcode when I using a OLEOBJECT function in PB. According to the help, resultcode is a UnsignedLong by value (a PowerBuilder number identifying the exception that occurred on the server). Does anyone know where I can get the meaning of 438. Thx. According to my research, 438 means: object dosen't support property or method. Which function were you calling and what are you trying to accomplish? Are you sure the OLE Server has been started?

When is a number not a number?
I've got some server script that determines the "SELECTED" entry in a SELECT control. (The code below is a snippet.) If no information is returned then I want the number defaulted a hard-coded value, otherwise, I want number that matches the returned value selected. The defaulted, hard-coded value works but the comparison (i == val) doesn't work if a a value was returned in the information. I've verified that it is indeed a number within the range I want. Why would this comparison fail like this? TIA Alan Rosine <snip> if (docInfo.advPayMonths =...

convert string to number?
Hi, I have a problem where a number read from a file is being treated as a string by perl (I think!). I am using the module RSPerl which is an interface between Perl and the statistical language R. When i read a column of numbers from a file and pass it to the perl/R function i get an "invalid 'type' (character) of argument" error. The reason i think this is a problem on the Perl side is shown by this pseudocode: while(<FILE>){ ... stuff to extract $value from each row ... push(@list1, $value); } @list2 = (100.2, 232.333, 344.2); # these ...
