How to truncate an hex address? - javascript

So im writing an exploit and im getting an address such as 0x00708001e9ab0b10 which is obviously a 64 bit hex address. The address I need is 0x1e9ab0b10 to my calculations this is the upper 28 bits but some told me this is 48 bits and up so i dont know but i basically need to remove 0x0070800 the first 7 numbers of the hex string/number and give me something like 0x00000001e9ab0b10 which i would prefer!!! or something like 0x1e9ab0b10 mind you as well i need this done in JavaScript which is what my exploit is for

Not sure I properly understand what you want, but if that hex is a string, you can call String.prototype.slice(x) on it which returns a copy of the string with the first x characters removed.
truncate = (hexString) => '0x0000000' + hexString.slice(9);
truncate('0x00708001e9ab0b10');

If the actual number isn't of any consequence then convert it into a string and slice it.
console.log('0x'+0x00708001e9ab0b10.toString(16).slice(5))

Add trailing zeros to an integer without converting to string in JS?

I'm looking to add decimals to the end of my integer. As an example:
15 => 15.00
The problem with methods like toFixed is that it will convert it into a string. I've tried to use parseFloat() and Number() on the string, but it'll convert it back to an integer with no decimals.
Is this possible? If not, can someone explain to me the logic behind why this isn't possible?
EDIT: Welp the intent was to display the number as a number, but from the going consensus, it looks like the way the only way to go about it is to use a string. Found an answer on the why: https://stackoverflow.com/a/17811916/8869701
The problem you are finding is that all numbers in javascript are floats.
a = 0.1
typeof a # "number"
b = 1
typeof b # number
They are the same.
So there is no real way to convert to from an integer to a float.
This is the reason that all of the parseFloat etc are string methods for reading and writing numbers from strings. Even if you did have floats and integers, specifying the precision of a number only really makes sense when you are displaying it to a user, and for this purpose it will be converted to a string anyway.
Depending on your exact use case you will need to use strings if you want to display with a defined precision.
When working with numbers 15 and 15.00 are equal. It wouldn't make any sense to use memory to store those trailing or leading zeros.
If that information is needed it is usually for displaying purposes. In that case a string is the right choice.
In case you need that value again you can parse the string as a number.

reverse base58 encoding - decoding?

On this site forknote creator in the second input box you enter a decimal value and it display the decoded prefix on the right.
Is it possible to reverse the js function so that you can enter text ie "BOB" and it displays the decimal value?
I think the "BOB" need to be converted to bytes? then to base 58 hex and convert the hex to dec?
Thanks
Every value encoded by baseXX function can be decoded. But this answer doesn't solve your problem. I looked at the code behind this input and it's way more complicated and has many cryptographic functions. I don't know if it's reversible.

Force decimal value, even on integers, in Javascript

I need to take a user-input value and force it to 6 decimal places, even if the value is an integer. For example, the user types in 12, I need to convert that to 12.000000, as a number. This is not for display purposes - the system on the other end of my app requires decimal values, and there's nothing I can do about that.
As I've read elsewhere, numbers in Javascript are all 64-bit floating point numbers, so it doesn't seem like this should be so difficult.
Alas, toFixed is not an option here because that gives me a string value '12.000000'. Every other trick I've tried just yields the integer 12 with no decimal zeroes (e.g. wrapping toFixed with Number, dividing the string value by 1, and other such silliness).
Is it possible to represent an integer as a float in Javascript, without ending up with a string value?
UPDATE
Thanks for all the comments and answers. Unfortunately for me, #Enzey's comment actually answers my core question when he said that forcing precision can only be done with a string. If he submits that as an answer I'll accept it. I kept the details of my implementation purposefully vague because I didn't want to get into why I wanted to do what I'm doing, I just wanted to know if it was possible. But I guess I just ended up confusing people. Sorry about that.
Alas, there is no such thing as float or int in JavaScript. You only have Number, which does not have the slightest clue about a difference between 12 and 12.000000.
If you're sending it as a stringified JSON, you can use .toFixed on the number, and then strip the " signs from the numbers in the stringified JSON:
var result = JSON.stringify({
number: (12).toFixed(6)
})
.replace(/"[\d]+\.\d{6}"/g, function(v) {
return v.replace(/"/g, '');
});
console.log(result);

storing and passing long numeric strings in node & jquery

(newbie here)
i have large floating-point arrays created by node.js that i need to pass to s client-side jquery-ajax function. the goal is download it the fastest way possible.
we can safely round off the floating-point to the hundredth position, maybe even the tenth position - but i still need to experiment to see which one works best.
so far i have multiplied each array value by 100 and rounded off to just have three digits:
wholeNbrValue = Math.round(floatingPointValue * Math.pow(10, 3));
so for example 0.123456 would become 123. then each set of digits is appended to a string:
returnString += sprintfJs('%03d', wholeNbrValue) ;
i end up with a rather long ascii string of digits. then i might use something like fs.createWriteStream to store the string on the server as an ordinary file, and later use jquery-ajax to fetch it on the client side.
my question: what might be the optimum way to store a numeric only string? i am tempted to loop back through the string again and use something like charCodeAt() and just grab up every two positions as an ascii value, or even grab every 64 digits and convert it to a four-byte hex value.
or perhaps is there some way using node to actually store a binary floating-point array and later retrieve it with jquery-ajax?
thank you very much.

Javascript - extract specific numbers from string

I'm trying to extract specific numbers from a string but I'm not sure how to execute it.
The string is of the form:
center=43.571464,7.129565&zoom=12&size=480x225&markers=color:red%7Clabel:1%7C43.580293713725936,7.115145444335894&markers=color:red%7Clabel:2%7C43.56512073056565,7.121668576660113&sensor=false
The array I want is the marker coordinates near the end, specifically:
[43.580293713725936,7.115145444335894,43.56512073056565,7.121668576660113]
I thought I could pick these number out using their precision (15) but I don't know if that's best. I'm a hack when it comes to using regular expressions. Right now the best I've got is:
str.match(/[-+]?[0-9]*\.?[0-9]+/g)
But that just gives me all of the numbers.
Help much appreciated!
If your string is in str use this regex.
var coordinates = decodeURIComponent(str).match(/([\d.]{10,})/g);
http://jsfiddle.net/CHfcT/
You could try using the following regex
/\d+\.\d{7,}/g
This assumes that:
The marker coordinates always have 7 or more numbers after the dot
No other part of the string contains a similar pattern with more than 7 numbers after a dot
Example (JSFiddle):
str.match(/\d+\.\d{7,}/g);
The reason I picked 7 was because the other numbers in the sample had 6, so that excludes them. If you know that the coordinates always have a fixed number of decimal places, then you could just use that specific number without the , like this:
/\s+\.\d{10}/g
