I have a hex value (0x0020004E0000 … which is the base address to a hardware address). I need to add 0x04 to the base for each register. I have been doing this by first converting the base address to a base 10 number, then adding 4 to that value. The sum I then take and convert back to hex all via the string class .to_s and .to_i.

Is there a better way to do this so I’m not converting back-and-forth between base 10 and base 16 all the time? (FYI, in my previous AppleScript script, I punted hex math to the OS and let bc take care of the addition for me).
