linux shell utils: convert a list of hex to list of decimals
- by osgx
Hello
How can I convert a file with a lot hex numbers into the decimal?
Example: file1
0x59999
0x5acdc
0xffeff
I want to start
$ cat file1 | util | cat file2
and get file2 with smth like
1021489
1249230
3458080
(numbers in example output are random, as I cant convert so long hex to dec)
Upd: perl : perl -pe '$_=hex;$_.="\n"'. Can anybody do it better?
The real task is a sorting of hex numbers.
