Is there any way to do binary to integer conversions in Zmud?

If I had a string list that was a bunch of binary info, like:
10001101 how could I convert that to an integer, in this case 177 ?

Is this possible and/or easy in Zmud?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Definitely possible. Built into ZMud as a handy-dandy #command or %function()? Nope, you'll have to build your own (via #ALIAS or #FUNCTION). I don't recall the rules of binary conversion, though, so not much help from me on that front.

**thinks openly**
oh now thats cool to know. decoding binary is definately a cool idea for muds.

well, the trigger to do that would be really easy, just a set of divisions by 2 with a log of the remainder.

#echo %mss(parseInt(10001101,2),JScript)

btw, 10001101 binary is equal to 141 decimal

hehe, I was counting it up backwards....low to high stead of high to low.

so, %mss(parseInt(<bin string>,2),JScript)

cool Ill try that!

(im trying to make alot of COM communications simpler by converting many pieces of binary data into a single integer data transfer)

Thanks for all the help!
