Subject: Any ideas why IRB would be different than running the code?

I have a routine I use for converting hex, decimal, and binary values between 
each. 

1.9.3-p362 :001 > class String
1.9.3-p362 :002?>     def convert_base(from, to)
1.9.3-p362 :003?>         self.to_i(from).to_s(to)
1.9.3-p362 :004?>       end
1.9.3-p362 :005?>   end
 => nil 

1.9.3-p362 :017 > ttext = 10
 => 10 
1.9.3-p362 :018 > ttext.to_s.convert_base(2, 16)
 => "2" 

So this binary value (10) produces 2, the correct hex value. 

However, when I use the same exact code in my script, I'm not seeing 2, I'm 
seeing 10. 

I used RubyMine to step through the code and I see it return 10 from 
convert_base.

Any ideas why IRB would differ? Is there something wrong in my code?
