1. How does one translate hexadecimal ascii strings to a value ?
G'day
A Simple question:
How does one translate hexadecimal ascii strings to a value in Euphoria ?
Is there a library function I have overlooked ? Has someone done this before,
or should I tackle this from first principles ?
I am programming a Euphorian routine that converts DECnet address's to
Physical address, and visa versa. I have previously written this in DCL for
OpenVMS. DCL is the Digital Command Language. (Is this the first DCL to
Euphoria port ?). DECnet BTW is a network protocol, much like
TCP/IP but nicer 
.
I have the DECnet to Ethernet translation working, but for the reverse, I
require to convert an incoming Hex string (Entered by the user) to a value.

Why don't you use value() routine as:
sequence s
s = value("#5D")
-- s[2] will have the value translated.
hope it helps.

A simple answer:
Make sure you precede your string with a '#', and the function
value(hex_string) will return the value in it's second element, if the he=
x
string is valid.
