Converting Integer to binary string

[Harold Hausman]

Hello all,

I tried searching the list for this, but didn't see the answer
anywhere. A lot of people trying to do the opposite, but..

I'd like to convert the Integer 585 to the string "1001001001"

I see from the docs for Fixnum#[] that I could hack something together:

30.downto(0) { |i| print 585 }

But sometimes you just *know* there's a better way...

Thanks in advance,
-Harold

Dah! Thank you.

Man, I was trying all kinds of crazy business.

585.to_s.to_i(2)



Thanks again ,
-Harold
