convert hexadecimal string to decimal number

[vicens]

I'm trying converts a hex string to decimal number.
I've use  "scan from string", "hexadecimal string to number", and anothers vi founded in forum, but I haven't solved.

Example: string (in hex): 21863B868
                decimal number: 8999123048

Thank you,

Vicen

There are several issues here, starting with I don't understand what your code has to do with what you are trying to accomplish.

Second, it sounds like you are trying to make this a lot harder than it really is. The value 21863B868 is the hex equivalent of 8999123048 decimal. So if you have a string containing "21863B868" all you have to do is pass it to the Hexadecimal String to Number function and you're done. Once the value is converted to an integer you can represent it for display purposes in any radix you like by simply modifying the display properties of the numeric indicator.

Hi vicens,

your problem is here: LabView7.1 doesn't support integers with 64 bit resolution (I64, U64) like LV8+ does. Your hex number has 9 digits, thus not fitting in a U32!!!

See attached vi, which converts your hex string to a DBL number. Be aware of getting into trouble because of limited precision of floating point numbers...
