This was just an example to play with since you asked for a #convertFromBase:to: method in your original mail and one cant provide such a method on Number. Your original request
11 convertFromBase: 2 to: 10 may work - but it wont work for hex values: FF convertFromBase: 16 to: 10 then FF would have to be a string. 'FF' convertFromBase: 16 to: 10 So having a #convertFromBase:to: on String is not to recommend (especially since the string has to be in a number format) and also not necessary. I should have added this to my mail as a warning. Just use (Number readFrom: self base: sourceBase) printStringBase: targetBase If necessary put it in a private helper method for conversion. May I ask why you require conversions between the different base systems? Working on a hex editor for Nautilus? ;) Bye T.
