Have you looked at String#unpack?

Have you looked at String#unpack?

"\000\000 A".unpack( "f" ) => 10.0

"\000\000 A".unpack( "f" ) => 10.0

Zach

This was a joke, right?

"\000\000 B".unpack( "f" ) => 40.0

if not, i didn't want to be cynical.

you can try this:

a = [0x00,0x00,0x00,0x0A]
puts a.inject(0){|r, i| r << 8 | i}

cheers
