how do i convert the base58 into a regular WIF?

[bigasic]

Im sure this is here somewhere, but is there an easy way to convert a private key from mutibit(base58) to a regular WIF? the ones that start with a 1 or 3?

Everytime I try to import, my damned mac keynote program tries to read my .key private keys and its driving me crazy.


I just want to know how to take my printed unencrypted private keys that are in base58 and import it into blockchian.info or just turn that into a regular WIF bitcoin address.

Anyone?

WIF uses base58... https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Wallet_import_format

addresses start with 1 or 3, private keys start with 5.
