conversion

Hi,

Let's say I have a string or array which represents a number in base N, N>1, where N is a power of 2. Assume the number being represented is larger than the system can handle as an actual number (an int or a double etc).

How can I convert that to a decimal string?

I'm open to a solution for any base N which satisfies the above criteria (binary, hex, ...).
