Convert decimal to base 36 alpha numeric in Bash | Linux
Published by Nicholas Dunbar on February 9th, 2014
Here is a custom bash shell script function you can use to convert a decimal to a base 36 number in all capital alpha numeric.
Example:
your_digit=65;
decimal_to_base36 $your_digit;
Output:
1T
function decimal_to_base36(){
BASE36=($(echo {0..9} {A..Z}));
arg1=$@;
for i in $(bc <<< "obase=36; $arg1"); do
echo -n ${BASE36[$(( 10#$i ))]}
done && echo
}
BASE36=($(echo {0..9} {A..Z}));
arg1=$@;
for i in $(bc <<< "obase=36; $arg1"); do
echo -n ${BASE36[$(( 10#$i ))]}
done && echo
}
