Anybase¶ ↑

Arbitrary number bases¶ ↑

So often, I need to create random number bases, with random digits, to satisfy some crazy requirement.

Here is an example of how you’d do hex in Anybase.

base = Anybase.new('0123456789abcdef')
base.to_i('f0a')
=> 3850
base.to_native(123450)
=> "1e23a"

Anybase gives you a few built-in: Anybase::Hex, Anybase::Base64, Anybase::Base64ForURL and Anybase::Base62 (should all be pretty self-explanatory)

w00t, and cheers!
