User Commands Int2Hex and Hex2Int

Although Dyalog comes from two built-in user commands for converting a hex number into an integer and vice versa (]ToHex and ]FromHex), fromHex is too limited to be really useful.

For example, is one wishes to convert an error code returned by the Windows Task Scheduler:

      ]tohex 2147942667                              
must be 32 bits signed integer
Run[61] r←1 hex ##.THIS⍎r⊣⎕PP←34
       ∧

With the excellent function Hex written and contributed by PhilLast - which is the internal engine of the two user commands - this can be avoided:

      ]Int2hex 2147942667                              
8007010b
      ]Hex2Int 8007010b
2147942667

This is Phil's underlying code:

      Hex←{
          ⎕IO←0 ⋄ ⎕ML←1
          t←0∊⊃⍬⍴0⍴⊂⍵
          a←⎕D,'abcdef',⎕D,6⍴⎕A
          t:a⌷⍨⊂⍉16⊥⍣¯1⊢⍵
          16⊥⍉16|a⍳⍵
    ⍝ ⍵ dec-number or hex-string
    ⍝ ← hex-string or dec-number
    ⍝   accepts hex as CAPS or small
    ⍝   returns hex as small
    ⍝   dec to hex is rank increasing
    ⍝   hex to dec is rank decreasing
      }

== Overview ==
[[ADOC]] is a utility useful to generate documentation (semi-) automatically from class scripts as well as namespace scripts.

+Line 3:
-Obviously it makes sense to make ADOC's services available as a User Command.
+Although Dyalog comes from two built-in user commands for converting a hex number into an integer and vice versa (`]ToHex` and `]FromHex`), `fromHex` is too limited to be really useful.
-Line 7:
+Line 5:
-This page offers a small class script `ADOC` which is designed to do exactly that.

Refer to UserCommands/WhereShouldTheyGo for advice how to organize your User Commands.

== Samples ==
Given that the two different ADOC scripts went into the right folders, this would be a sample session:
+For example, is one wishes to convert an error code returned by the Windows Task Scheduler:
-Line 15:
+Line 8:
-      ]?ADOC.List
Command "ADOC.List". Syntax: 1 arguments; accepts switches -full
Script location: C:\UserCommands\ADOC_UC

Prints a list with all sorts of information to the session
about all public stuff given in the script specified in the right argument

      ]?ADOC.Browse
Command "ADOC.Browse". Syntax:  accepts switches -caption= -browser=
Script location: C:\UserCommands\ADOC_UC

 Gathers all sort of information from a class script and
 compiles an HTML page from it which is then displayed
 with your default browser.

 Examples:
 ]ADOC.Browse ADOC   			⍝ Single class
 ]ADOC.Browse ADOC,WinFile    ⍝ Two classes, no blank in between!
 ]ADOC.Browse ADOC,WinFile -caption="My Doc"
 ]ADOC.Browse ADOC,WinFile -caption="My Doc" browser="c:\opera.exe

 Available switches:
 -caption="Your caption"
 -browser="full path to a browser which is not your default one"

      ]ADOC.Help

Shows extensive information about ADOC. It's basically doing `ADOC.Browse ADOC`.
