Hi!

I wish to present here written with FASM utility UniCNuS which converts in real time any integer number from the set {0, ..., 2^32-1} denoted in the numeral system with base b є {2, ..., 2^32-1} into a proper representation in the numeral system with base b' є {2, ..., 2^32-1}.

Input data

Data typed into any of the program edit fields are analysed in the real time and the result of this analysis is shown immediately in the other edit controls. Thanks to specific mechanism, edit fields allow to input symbols only from the particular set of characters. There is also impossible to type in a number which exceeds 2^32-1. When the input data are incomplete (improper number or order of brackets in the representation of the given number in numeral system with base b > 10) then text color is changed from brown to red.

Input number denoted in the numeral system with base b > 10 can consist of such digits:

0, ..., 9, (10), ..., (b-1)

Instead digits with values from 10 to 35 Latin letters A, ..., Z can be used. About possibility of using letter symbols informs state of the check box with 'A-Z' label.


Produced results

Content of edit fields can be copied into the clipboard by pushing the button with a picture of two paper sheets or by pressing the hotkey WIN + F11. Copied text is kept in RTF and Unicode formats, so text editors supporting RTF format (as WordPad or Word) will show pasted clipboard content as presented below:

Image

where x is a representation of the given number in the numeral system with base b and x' represents the same number in the system with base b'. Text editors which support only raw text format (as Notepad and UniRed for example) will show the same equality this way:

Image


User interface

Every application control has assigned tooltip which describes its purpose. Moreover, edit fields where number representations in the various numeral systems are input have dynamically generated tooltips wherein allowed digits are listed:

Image

Edit fields have context menus which determine possible edit operations:

Image


Program settings

Before closing of the application window program saves its settings (recently used bases of the numeral systems) in the registry key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\UniCNuS


Other possibilities

Application can cipher short words as it is shown on the picture below:

Some other interesting examples of the conversions:

Application can be downloaded here.

Because program was designed in 3 language versions here you have also:
Program tested under Windows XP SP3.

Excellent as always.

Any plans to extend the input set (while still keeping the base set as it is now)?

Thanks for sharing it!

PS: BTW, how did you find those ciphering examples? Razz

Do you mean extending the set of symbols in order to substitute digits (36), ..., (b-1)? It could be useful in some cases (for example in ciphering - here we could use Unicode).

Or you mean extending input set of numbers to "real" numbers (some subset of rational numbers - set of fractions denoted with fixed precision)? It could be done, of course... Wink

Well, I just experimented a bit... Wink

Although it seems not to be stated it would appear that the base input boxes are in base-10, perhaps you can also allow for different bases to be use for the base representation. Twisted Evil

All your base are belong to us.

This one Wink But in fact I mean just extend to a much bigger subset of $\mathbb{N} \cup \{0\}$

Thanks again. Wink

Yeah, base input boxes contain bases denoted in decimal numeral system. Smile

LocoDelAssembly
I understand, but moving to the numbers bigger than 2^32-1 will complicate converting procedures. However I think that limit 2^64-1 is quite reachable. Smile

Thank you, thimis. Smile

Most of the solutions in this program were presented in the Simple Password Generator source. Wink
