UNPACK()

FUNCTION: unpack(<packed number>[,<radix>[,<baseconv>]])

Returns the equivalent normal base-10 number of the given packed-number using the specified base. The default radix is 64. The inverse function of unpack is pack.

By default, this conversion is compatible with the codes used in Myrddin's popular Bulletin Board, and they are also valid for an attribute name (except for the first letter). This set is:

0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz@$

This set is not the same as Unix-to-Unix copy (uuencode). Optionally, with boolean <baseconv>, the behavior changes to be compatible with baseconv().

Examples: >think unpack(bVxTM) 629126998 >think unpack(1111,2) 15
