Reading Numerical Binary Data using KSH
Hi,
I've searched and couldn't find anyone else with this problem. Is there anyway (preferably using ksh - but other script languages would do) that I can read in binary float data into a text file. The data (arrays from various stages of radar processing) comes in various formats, but mainly its float32, though there are some float complex arrays as well. The ability to switch between big and little endian would be useful too.
This sort of thing is easy in IDL and matlab etc, but thats not a cheap solution.
Any ideas?
Jon
