I have a field in decimal value, and would like to convert it to hex. </P> <P>Doesn't look like there's an eval's "tohex()" equivalent to "tonumber()". Has anyone found a way to do this?</P> <P>BTW, the internets have mentioned formulas that exist for this (e.g. <A href="http://www.webelfin.com/webelfindesign/dechex.html">http://www.webelfin.com/webelfindesign/dechex.html</A> ). I'd rather not have to write my own search functions (not sure if it's even possible to write a custom tohex() function for eval), though I'm worried that may be the only option.</P> Sat, 01 Dec 2012 02:55:08 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-do-I-convert-my-decimal-field-to-a-hex-value/m-p/51114#M12299 anssntaco 2012-12-01T02:55:08Z Re: How do I convert my decimal field to a hex value? https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-do-I-convert-my-decimal-field-to-a-hex-value/m-p/51115#M12300 <P>This is very easy, though it isn't intuitive!</P> <PRE><CODE>eval yourHex = tostring(yourNumber,"hex") </CODE></PRE> Sat, 01 Dec 2012 08:35:02 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-do-I-convert-my-decimal-field-to-a-hex-value/m-p/51115#M12300 lguinn2 2012-12-01T08:35:02Z Re: How do I convert my decimal field to a hex value? https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-do-I-convert-my-decimal-field-to-a-hex-value/m-p/51116#M12301 <P>Should've read the documentation a little closer.
