I'm trying to convert decimal to hex using gawk but seemed to have reached a
size limit
cat dec2hex
#!/bin/sh
nice /usr/local/bin/gawk -v x=$1 '
BEGIN { printf("x = %20d decimal, %20x hex, %20o octal.\n",x,x,x); exit}
'
./dec2hex 4294967295
x = 4294967295 decimal, ffffffff hex,
37777777777 octal.
./dec2hex 4294967296
x = 4.29497e+09 decimal, 4.29497e+09 hex,
4.29497e+09 octal.
gawk -W version
GNU Awk 3.0.5
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991-2000 Free Software Foundation.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a problem?
I would like to be able to convert decimal numbers up to 20 digits long
I have done a lot of searching on the web and cannot find an answer to this
Thanks,
Terry
