I have a file with the following contents (as a text file in UTF-8)

e04ba1af81d887979ddcee1dc23f2531

43f85926fdb6a668386ee354f8b836a1

b53614f5139c052ec08ea1ecd2532daf

e9b3914d7b1e1bf8e6feab621330245b

bbcad02116316176385fbfb294ee77b4

I need to ensure that this file contains a number 46390 (decimal). It equals b536 in HEX that is the beginning of the 3rd line. How do I use grep or ack to make it convert both file and pattern to binary representation and then do a search? Roughly saying, to make searching base independent considering that bases are known.

grep ack

How about simply using printf to do the conversion?

printf '^%xn' 46390 | grep -f- file

(I don't see hoe converting both to binary would help)
