Re: [9fans] awk: hex numbers? (and leak(1))

["Gabriel Diaz" <gabidiaz@gmail.com>]

hello

may be this help you:

define todec(str) {
        hstr="1234567890ABDCEF";
        res=0;
        n=split(str,digit,"");

        for(i=1;i<=n;i++) {
                num=index(hstr,digit[i])-1;
                res=res+(num*16^(n-i));
         }

        return res;
}


then just sum=todec(hex1)+todec(hex2);

if you do not go beyond int it should work.

slds.
