First, check pack:

> V An unsigned long (32-bit) in "VAX" (little-endian) order.

Have you noticed the pattern?

bytes chars 36353935 ----> 36 35 39 35 ----> 6 5 9 5 | | | | first 4 digits reverse | | | | 595661 -------------> 5956 ------> 6 5 9 5

It works for any input greater or equal to 1000:

#! /usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use Test::More; sub what { my ($input) = @_; my $unpacked = unpack "V", $input; my $result = join "", map chr hex, sprintf("%x\n", $unpacked) =~ / +(..)/g; is $result, reverse substr $input, 0, 4; } what($_) for 1000 .. 2000, 2e4, 3e5, 4e6, 5e7, 6e8, 7e9, 8e10, 9e11, 2 ** 64 - 3; done_testing();

Update: For numbers fitting into integer, you can also use

reverse($input) % 10_000

($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-||-|5+lengthSq)`"S|oS2"`map{chr |+ord }map{substrSq`S_+|`|}3E|-|`7**2-3:)=~y+S|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a,

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
