I have two hex values and expect back the value "3007"
What pack does is take the array of hexes and formats them into a string (if ASCII representation, then ASCII character, otherwise the raw hex as string). Then I take the string of hexes and unpack them, that is, get the unsigned int representation of those bytes: [0xBF, 0xB].pack('C*').unpack('I')[0] So I expect back 3007, but the above produces nil. This is what I want to achieve: [0xBF, 0xB].reverse.inject { |s,v| s * 256 + v } => 3007 But I want to use unpack instead of inject. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
