From Converting to hex (Newbie) - Ruby - Tek-Tips

You have to convert items using methods such as String#to_i(base=10)
and Fixnum#to_s(base=10). These would be for decimal values. Change
to (base=16) for hexadecimal values, (base=2) for binary values,
etc.

“beef”.to_i(16).to_s(2)
=> “1011111011101111”
