Hello Luke-Jr, please keep the discussion on the list.
I had written:
Simply use the digits “0” through “9”, and the letters “A” through “F”;
You have written:
This makes it more complex to differentiate between numbers and letters/units/etc.
In any case, you have to know the base of every number you are going to parse. This stems from the fact that the same digits are used for all number systems. Note that Unicode is a character-encoding standard, hence cannot do anything about this sort of ambiguity. Best wishes, Otto Stolz
