RE: Base 31 Conversion

Ah, then it's technically not a base 31 conversion, but a base 31 based
encryption algorithm. I went back to see your other posts and see the
removals. Did they do that for "encryption/obfuscation" purposes or
because they don't like all caps as it makes those characters hard to
visually differentiate?

In any case, your custom code is the more appropriate solution for your
problem.

Coy...what if some of the characters needed to be removed from the
comparison string? The vendor I'm dealing with has removed the following
characters: 0,1,I,L,O.

Thanks...

BigInteger in Java. I use it often to decode account numbers from base
32 encoded image filenames created by our software vendor. Quick

example

would be:

BigInteger bi = new BigInteger("123456789", 10);
System.out.println(bi.toString(31));

Which should print you 123456789 encoded as base 31.

it was..whew>

Anyone have a Base 31 converter? I could write one, but if someone has
one
that's already working, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!
