From: Lloyd Linklater Date: 2007-10-05T22:29:08+09:00 Subject: finding obscure documentation I have learned that you can turn a number to octal (or whatever) this way: p 123.to_s(8).to_i => 173 I seem to recall that there is something which will read *in* a number in an arbitrary numeric base, though I forget just how to do that. My question is, where is this and things like it documented? I have searched several books to no avail. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
