binary to ascii

[gembo]

Hi,

How can I poperly convert the binary data on the ate file to ASCII and HEX characters?

Thanks for your help.

The file is already an ascii representation of binary

Here is how to get the ascii to HEX

[altenbach]

The file already contains ASCII characters (0 or 1), 18 per line followed by three tab characters.

Going out on a limb here, I am guessing these represent bits of a binary format. Since there is no native 18 bit data type, we need more information on what you actually want. You could scan the lineas as binary format as U32 type. Have you tried?

Thr resulting U32 array could be formatted as hex or whatever you want or even flattened to a binary string. We clearly need more information what kind of output you are looking for.

Here's one interpretation of the question ...

Could you help me out with this last option? to U32 and to Hex and Ascii?

I didn't see the last posting.

That can mean many things. You need to be much more specific!

So I have 16bit data to go from binary to decimal. Need help please.

Did you try Altenbach's VI in message #4?
