binary string to number

[asaf]

Hi,

Is there an easy way to translate binary string to decimal number .

i.e

input "0000100"

output : 4

input : 10000000

output : 128

Thanks for your time

Is the string always 8 characters (bits) long?

Are you using LabVIEW?

Another question - Binary numbers can be interpreted in two ways:

- always positive

- positive or negative

which situation applies in your case?

Hi,

The length is always 8 chracter and always with positive meaning.

I know i can use a simple case sequence with all the possibilities , but i was wonder if LabView can offer some built in functions .

Thanks,

Asaf
