Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Convert Hexdecimal to Decimal in Solaris awk Post 303017048 by Ragesm on Tuesday 8th of May 2018 12:16:58 PM

Unfortunately this is not the solution.

Here is a short sample of the problem:
Code:
echo "2658a5600:800" | awk '{split($0,fields,":"); firstHex2Dec = ("0x"fields[1])+0; secondHex2Dec = ("0x"fields[2])+0; \
printf ("firstHex2Dec: "firstHex2Dec); printf ("   secondHex2Dec: "secondHex2Dec "\n") }'
firstHex2Dec: 0   secondHex2Dec: 0

The output of firstHex2Dec und secondHex2Dec should be decimal 10293499392 and 2048 now but it is "0" because the "+0" seemes to overwrite the var.
Now i remove the "+0"
Code:
bash-3.2# echo "2658a5600:800" | awk '{split($0,fields,":"); firstHex2Dec = ("0x"fields[1]); secondHex2Dec = ("0x"fields[2]); \
printf ("firstHex2Dec: "firstHex2Dec); printf ("   secondHex2Dec: "secondHex2Dec "\n") }'
firstHex2Dec: 0x2658a5600   secondHex2Dec: 0x800

The content of firstHex2Dec and secondHex2Dec is not overwritten by the "+0" but it is still not the decimal value as expected.

Im pretty sure the statement ("0x"array[n])+0 doesn't work in Solaris.

My Version of AWK ist:

NAME
igawk - gawk with include files SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ... igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ... DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1). AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like @include getopt.awk in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path. OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
