How to grab hex value in between a bunch of zeros and convert it to decimal?-CodePudding

I wanted to try and grab a hex value in between a bunch of zeros and convert it to decimal. Here's a sample: '00000000002E3706400000'. So I only want to grab '2E37064' and disregard everything else around it. I know to use the int() function to convert it to decimal, but when I do, it includes the leading zeros right after the actual hex value. Here's a sample of my code:

hex_val = '00000000002E3706400000'
dec_val = int(hex_val, 16)
print(dec_val)

And then here's the output:

50813862936576

The actual value I want is:

48459876

Is there an optimal way to accomplish this?

CodePudding user response：

You can use the .strip() function to remove the leading and trailing zeroes (though removing the leading zeroes here isn't technically necessary):

int(hex_val.strip('0'), 16)

This outputs:

48459876
