Hi Paul, Since you start from strings, it's not clear to me where ASCII enters the picture. If you really need ASCII, you can use the charToInt() function in the "R.oo" package. Also there's the AsciiToInt() function in the "sfsmisc" package. If you just want to use R's native as.numeric() conversion, there's the digitsBase() function in the "sfsmisc" package:
> library(sfsmisc) > digitsBase(as.numeric("63"), base = 2) Class 'basedInt'(base = 2) [1:1] [,1] [1,] 1 [2,] 1 [3,] 1 [4,] 1 [5,] 1 [6,] 1 > HTH, Bill. W.
