Converts a string to integer based on a set base

--Based on scripts by Kevan Dettelbach and Chuck Neal --Convert a String into an integer, --for hex-to-int call convToInt(szConv, 16) --for bit-to-int call convToInt(szConv, 2)  ..... --no complete errorchecking: convToInt("2EF", 2) works, but makes no sense ;-) on ConvToInt szConvNum, nBase   if nBase > 1 and nBase < 17 then     baseNums = ["0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","A","B","C","D","E","F"]     nConverted = 0     nMax = szConvNum.length     repeat with nIndex = 1 to nMax       nConverted = nConverted * nBase       nConverted = nConverted + baseNums.getOne(szConvNum.char[nIndex]) - 1     end repeat     return nConverted   else     return VOID   end if end
