I do agree with Marcel, but just to show how you can do this fairly fast in powershell (only about 5 times slower than calling Convert.ToString), here's a lookup table approach. /Staffan [string[]] $base2Lookup = @('00000000','00000001','00000010','00000011','00000100','00000101','00000110','00000111','00001000','00001001', '00001010','00001011','00001100','00001101','00001110','00001111'
