in thread A philosophical pondering concerning hexes
So, you want something like this?
| input | oct result | Comment |
| 107 | 71 | Octal |
| 108 | 108 | Decimal |
| 109 | 109 | Decimal |
| 10a | 266 | Hexadecimal |
| 10f | 271 | Hexadecimal |
| 10g | 8 | Octal, ignoring 'g' |
Does that seem anyway sensible or useful to you? Or perhaps oct 108 should return 89 (because it's base 9?). And should oct 45 be 29 (because it's base 6)?.
