ascii :convert-base ( string $NUMBER , int $FROM , int $TO )

Converts the provided number from base-$FROM to base-$TO. Specified bases must be in [2, 36] range. If omitted, they default to 10.

Symbols representing digits that lie outside the base-from are silently ignored.

Note that arguments are always converted to string if they are of different type, which can lead to interesting results, e.g. if one provides a bin number, and then uses something else than 2 as the base-from.
