How to get hex integer from a string in JS?

Question

I would like to convert this: "#FFFFFF" to this: 0xFFFFFF. How is it possible without using eval?

Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

Strip off the "#" and use parseInt().

var hex = parseInt(str.replace(/^#/, ''), 16);

Then, if you want to see it in hex, you can use .toString():

console.log(hex.toString(16));
