command line argument for hex to dec conversion

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

I'll have to work on this, but there'd be at least two methods:
1 the bc command
2 awk with a print specified to output in dec

I'll get back to you
(unless someone else does quicker)

If it's not for scripting,
in hex multiply the first digit by 16 and
add the second.! or use the calculator in
CDE if it's anymore complicated..

give us a bit..

Later,

Thanks, I have a script that isolates the hex numbers I want, but I need to be able to incorperate the dec (answere) in a menu for my operators. So yes its for scripting purposes.
