# $EPIC: strtol.txt,v 1.1.1.1 2006/07/11 04:57:43 jnelson Exp $

Synopsis:

$strtol(<base> <number>)

Technical:

  • <base> is a number, either 0, or 2 to 36.
  • <number> is a valid number in the given <base>.
  • If <base> or <number> are omitted, the empty string is returned.
  • If <base> is not 0 or 2 to 36, the empty string is returned.
  • If <number> is not valid for <base>, 0 is returned.
  • Otherwise, the return value is <number> converted to base 10.
  • Remember that <number> has to fit into a (long) variable type.

Practical:

This is useful to convert binary, octal, or hex numbers to decimal.

Returns:

The <number> of the given <base>, converted to base 10.

The empty string if argument is omitted.

0 if the conversion was unsucessful.

Examples:

$strtol(16 ABC194F) returns 180099407

History:

This function first appeared in EPIC5-0.0.2.
