Asp Forum - Converting Integer to binary string

Hello all,

I tried searching the list for this, but didn't see the answer
anywhere. A lot of people trying to do the opposite, but.. :)

I'd like to convert the Integer 585 to the string "1001001001"

I see from the docs for Fixnum#[] that I could hack something together:

30.downto(0) { |i| print 585[i] }

But sometimes you just *know* there's a better way...

Thanks in advance,
-Harold

Maria, you have plenty of initiative. If work could be found for him in the
way described above, could he not work for 'you' ie with you managing him?

Unfortunately not - he is unmanageable.
55, never married, hardly ever a girlfriend, no children - can you
imagine? He never takes advice. I was listening to my 8 year old read to
me yesterday, and he just walked in and started talking at me. He could
hear the boy reading and see me listening, but just carried on getting
louder and louder until I paid him attention. In fact if he comes here
again today, he may well end up with the tv remote jammed somewhere the
sun don't shine...

Oh dear... although such a conclusion might make him sit up and take
notice... errr.. well, perhaps not the 'sit up' bit :)

:) Nothing would make him take notice. If I ran him over in my van, he'd
get up, walk off, and be back the next day!
