A CLI tool that converts numbers between bases.
Project description
Description
A CLI tool to convert numbers between bases, with as little typing as possible.
$ bs FFFE
[from hexadecimal]
decimal 65534
binary 1111111111111110
octal 177776
$ bs -t d F
15
Installation
This is a Python 3 script, installed from PyPI using pip.
pip3 install base-convert-cli
Hasn't been tested on Windows.
Examples
If you don't specify a base, it does all common conversions.
$ bs 0
[from decimal]
binary 0
hexadecimal 0
octal 0
[from binary]
<clipped output here>
Specify the base through the prefix 0b
for binary, 0o
for octal, 0d
for decimal and 0x
for hex.
$ bs 0xF
bs 0xF
[from hexadecimal]
decimal 15
binary 1111
octal 17
Specifying base through a flag.
$ bs --from hex F
[from hexadecimal]
decimal 15
binary 1111
octal 17
From base-36 (the maximum supported base, which uses the digits 0-9 and then a-z).
$ bs --from 36 zx1
[from base-36]
decimal 46549
binary 1011010111010101
hexadecimal B5D5
octal 132725
To base-7.
$ bs --to 7 54
[from decimal]
base-7 105
[from hexadecimal]
base-7 150
[from octal]
base-7 62
Specifying both input and output bases.
$ bs --from hex --to dec F
15
Shorthand for lazy people.
$ bs -f h -t d F
15
Padding with zeroes.
$ bs --from decimal --to binary --pad 8 14
00001110
Setting precision for converting fractional numbers.
$ bs --prec 10 --from 3 --to decimal 0.1
0.3333333333
Aaaaand input through a pipe.
$ echo '5+10' | bc | bs -t h
[from decimal]
hexadecimal F
[from octal]
hexadecimal D
Contributing
Feel free to submit tweaks. To run tests, install tox via pip3 install tox
and then run the tox
command from the base directory.
