I've been looking at debase too, but as you say, it's buggy. If I were to
convert hex characters manually in java (that's where I "come from"), I'd
use a switch statement. Any suggestions to how I should do it in
rebol? Here's a java sample:
switch (character) {
case ('0')
return "0000"
case ('1')
return "0001"
case ('2')
return "0010"
(...)
case ('d')
return "1101"
case ('e')
return "1110"
case ('f')
return "1111"
}
Obviously, this should be done with a one-liner, but since debase is so
hard to figure out, I'm willing to do a little more work. Any help greatly
appreciated.
