bin2dec is a binary to decimal convertor
bin2dec is a CLI tool to convert binary numbers to decimal numbers. I built this CLI app to solve and handle some problems in exceptional situations about developing Bash/Batch scripts when they need to know binary format.
Below there are three example of running code in action:
Run with command line argument:
$ ./bin2dec 10000000
128
$ ./bin2dec 10000000 128
Simply it converts 10000000 from binary to '128' as a decimal number.
Use output in terminal or Bash scripts:
$ bo=$(./bin2dec 10000000)
$ expr $bo - 28
100
$ echo print $bo - 28 | python -
100
$ bo=$(./bin2dec 10000000) $ expr $bo - 28 100 $ echo print $bo - 28 | python - 100
You can use output as a decimal number in expressions.
Run without command line argument(Interactive mode):
$ ./bin2dec
