Convert hexa decimal to decimal
Hi,

I want to convert two hexadecimal numbers to decimal using unix command line.

Code:
1cce446295197a9d6352f9f223a9b698
fc8f99ac06e88c4faf669cf366f60d

I tried using
Code:
`echo "ibase=16; $no |bc`
printf '%x\n' "1cce446295197a9d6352f9f223a9b698"

but it doesn't work for such big number it seems.

Any help?

Are you getting this?
Code:
echo "ibase=16; 1cce446295197a9d6352f9f223a9b698" | bc
syntax error on line 1,

My install requires upper case for the letters:-
Code:
echo "ibase=16; 1CCE446295197A9D6352F9F223A9B698" | bc      
38289384049192862285155360726760142488


Indeed even on my rather old HP-UX 11.11 Smilie I can fire in 4096 characters of hex and I still get output. I must admit I haven't checked if the answer is right though, but it is enormous at 5073 decimal digits.


I hope that this helps,
Robin

Thanks Robin and sorry for the confusion... I was on another planet...

Well according to Robin a one liner which would accept your values as variable would be:
Code:
 VAL1=1cce446295197a9d6352f9f223a9b698                               
(echo "ibase=16;"; echo "$VAL1"|tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]')|xargs|bc

Perhaps you could simplify it with:-
Code:
typeset -U HEXNO=$hexno
decno=`echo "ibase=16; $HEXNO |bc`

It saves creating a tr process too.
