Thanks for your advice. Unfortunately, your answers are inconsistent:
as.numeric("0x1AF0") returns a decimal value for a hex string. I'd like
You don't understand how R works:
x <- as.numeric("0x1AF0")
produces an number, not its decimal representation. A number is a number
is a number irrepsective of the the base of its character representation.
to dothe opposite-use hex notation to represent a decimal.
e.g.
x<-0x000A
y<-0x0001
x+y=0x00B

Hello world: Has anyone used hex notation within R to represents integers?

as.numeric("0x1AF0")
[1] 6896 (which BTW is system-dependent, but one person used it as you asked). PLEASE read the posting guide and try for a `smarter' question.
