# To Decimal

Converts the input data to an ordinal integer array. For example, `Hello` becomes `72 101 108 108 111`. To Decimal lives in the **Data format** category of the `fx` menu.

## Parameters

| Parameter             | Type    | Required | Default | Description                                                                  |
| --------------------- | ------- | -------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Input                 | string  | yes      | —       | Value to transform. Previous step output or a literal.                       |
| Delimiter             | string  | no       | `Space` | Choose one of: `Space`, `Comma`, `Semi-colon`, `Colon`, `Line feed`, `CRLF`. |

`Input` is the primary value (previous step output or a literal).

## Limitations

- This operation treats Input as raw bytes (binary-capable). Non-text payloads may display differently after decoding.

## Example

<details>
<summary>Run To Decimal</summary>

Converts the input data to an ordinal integer array. Adjust optional parameters when the defaults do not match your payload.

1. Set **Input** to the value to transform. Paste:

   ```text title="Input"
   Hello
   ```

2. Review **Delimiter**, **Support signed values** and keep defaults unless your format requires otherwise.

3. Confirm **Output value** matches the expected result (for example `72 101 108 108 111`).
