See hex. `>perl -wMstrict -le "my $i = 100; my $x = hex $i; print $x; printf qq{0x%x \n}, $x; ;; $i = '200'; $x = hex $i; print $x; printf qq{0x%x \n}, $x; " 256 0x100 512 0x200` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Hi Anamolous monk, Thanks for the reply.But that was not the one i was looking for.If i have a integer say 55667788, i needed to have this as hex value 0x55667788 and not the hex(55667788).Please share your views on it. thanks sham	[reply]

Please share your views on it Certainly. My view is that you need to read and understand I know what I mean. Why don't you? before posting again.	[reply]

If you are taking 66778899 and converting it to 0x66778899 why not: `my $val = "0x" . $val;` [download] Maybe I'm missing something here.... Peter L. Berghold -- Unix Professional Peter -at- Berghold -dot- Net; AOL IM redcowdawg Yahoo IM: blue_cowdawg	[reply] [d/l]
