I have data in hex dump but don't know the enc

问题:

I have some data in hexdump code. left hand are DEC and right hand are hexdump code.

16 = 10
51 = 33
164 = A4 01
388 = 84 03
570 = BA 04
657 = 91 05
1025 = 81 08
246172 = 9C 83 0F

How to calculate any hexdump to DEC ? In perl, I tried to use ord() command but don't work.

Update I don't known what it call. It look like 7bits data. I try to build formula in excel look like these:

DEC = hex2dec(X) + (128^1 * hex2dec(Y-1)) + (128^2 * hex2dec(Z-1)) + ...

What you have is a variable-length encoding. The length is encoded using a form of sentinel value: Each byte of the encoded number except the last has its high bit set. The remaining bits form the two's-complement encoding of the number in little-ending byte order.

0xxxxxxx                   ⇒                   0xxxxxxx
1xxxxxxx 0yyyyyyy          ⇒          00yyyyyy yxxxxxxx
1xxxxxxx 1yyyyyyy 0zzzzzzz ⇒ 000zzzzz zzyyyyyy yxxxxxxx
etc

The following can be used to decode a stream:

use strict;
use warnings;
use feature qw( say );

sub extract_first_num {
   $_[0] =~ s/^([\x80-\xFF]*[\x00-\x7F])//
      or return;

   my $encoded_num = $1;
   my $num = 0;
   for (reverse unpack 'C*', $encoded_num) {
      $num = ( $num << 7 ) | ( $_ & 0x7F );
   }

   return $num;
}

my $stream_buf = "\x10\x33\xA4\x01\x84\x03\xBA\x04\x91\x05\x81\x08\x9C\x83\x0F";
while ( my ($num) = extract_first_num($stream_buf) ) {
   say $num;
}

die("Bad data") if length($stream_buf);

Output:

16
51
164
388
570
657
1025
246172
