To convert multi format file to a readable ascii format
Hi

I have a file which has ascii , binary, binary decimal coded,decimal & hexadecimal data with lot of special characters (like öƒ.ƒ.„İİ¡Š·œƒ.„İİ¡Š· ) in it. I want to standardize the file into ASCII format & later use that as source .

Can any one suggest a way a logic to convert such files to ASCII formats. IS there anything in Perl /shell scripting that can fulfill this reqm.

pls suggest how to convert the file.

thanks,
Gaur.Deepti

img2cif

IMG2CIF(1)						      General Commands Manual							IMG2CIF(1)

NAME

       img2cif - filter to convert detector images to CBF format

SYNOPSIS

       img2cif [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

       img2cif	is  a  program	that converts an image file from a MAR180, MAR300, MAR345 or ADSC CCD detector to CBF format. In addition, img2cif
       includes code to process files from stdin and to stdout, so the program can be used in a pipe.

OPTIONS

       -i input_image
	      (default: stdin) the input_image file in MAR300, MAR345 or ADSC CCD detector format is given.  If no input_image file  is  specified
	      or is given as "-", an image is copied from stdin to a temporary file.

       -o output_cif
	      (default: stdout) the output cif (if base64 or quoted-printable encoding is used) or cbf (if no encoding is used).  if no output_cif
	      is specified or is given as "-", the output is written to stdout

       -c compression_scheme
	      (packed, canonical or none, default packed)

       -m [no]headers
	      (default headers for cifs, noheaders for cbfs) selects MIME (N. Freed, N. Borenstein, RFC 2045, November 1996) headers within binary
	      data value text fields.

       -d [no]digest
	      (default	md5 digest [R. Rivest, RFC 1321, April 1992 using"RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm"] when MIME headers
	      are selected)

       -e encoding
	      (base64, quoted-printable, decimal, hexadecimal, octal or none, default: base64)	specifies  one	of  the  standard  MIME  encodings
	      (base64 or quoted-printable) or a non-standard decimal, hexamdecimal or octal encoding for an ascii cif or "none" for a binary cbf

       -b direction
	      (forward	or  backwards, default: natural direction) specifies the direction of mapping of bytes into words for decimal, hexadecimal
	      or octal output, marked by '>' for forward or '<' for backwards as the second character of each line of output, and in  '#'  comment
	      lines.
