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,

Accepted Answer

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));
```
