Hi Doru,

Converting hex to binary is really trivial, and now that we know that convering
decimal to binary is also trivial, here's something that will convert a SINGLE hex digit to binary:

binary = substr( ;
    "0000000100100011010001010110011110001001101010111100110111101111", ;
    4*eval( "0x" + hex_character) + 1, 4)

If you want to convert something like "0x4AF15" simply convert the five digits individually and concatenate the result.

Thanks for the opportunity to redeem myself ;-)

Alex
