It's a series of bytes. This powershell works: `$len = $bytes.Count/8 for( $i = 0 ; $i -lt $len ; $i++) { [System.BitConverter]::ToDouble($bytes, $i * 8 ) }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

ok? Did you try what I provided? I still believe you're asking for `say for unpack "d", $contents; # To print them as you were.` [download] `my @numbers = unpack "d", $contents; # To store them in an array.` [download] unpack Mini-Tutorial: Formats for Packing and Unpacking Numbers	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Did you try what I provided? I think it's theoretically possible that the OP did follow the advice but struck an endianness issue which, to be resolved, would presumably require either: `unpack "d<", $contents or unpack "d>", $contents` [download] Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]

Yes, I think, what you are looking for is `$number = unpack('d', $bytes);` If $bytes hold 8 bytes, then unpack will convert that to a number.	[reply]
