Hi David, The file has a list of values of the form: Text = 0x02765e11
I want to be able to take the hex value and convert it into binary so that I can apply a bit mask representing specific attributes such as : bbbb bfff ffff ffff cccc cccc cccc ssss As you can see from the above I can't simply take the four bits as the 'b' attribute is 5 bits long so I need to read in all the values, convert to binary so that i can mask/map the required bit pattern to get my attribute. I am trying to place the code in to an existing PDL code portion so was hoping to be able to read the values from the file at the same time and perform the conversion in to the respective attributes using PDL. If not I will just perform it separately and convert them all to piddles at the end. B=bbbb b F= FFF FFFF FFFF C= CCCC CCCC CCCC S= SSSS Does that make sense?

Do you have working pure-Perl code that does what you want?

I thought that there would be a way with transform, but reading in the data will include 0x[0-9a-f] which PDL typically didn't recognize as valid values.
