I have some code that reads binary data (a series of bytes representing numbers, not ASCII characters) and I want to know how I'd extract the numerical value of multiple bytes. For example, if I had two bytes with the hex value 0xFFFF, I'd like to know how to get its decimal value, 65535 (I think). (But remember, this is just binary data, not a string representation of hex or binary.)
Doesn't bin2hex() do what you want?

I forgot to mention, the binary data must be treated as big-endian. Will this still work? Thanks, Adam Atlas ~~~ Adam Atlas Your mouse has moved. Windows has to reboot for changes to take effect. [ OK ]
