Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Deal with binary sequences Post 302285756 by methyl on Monday 9th of February 2009 03:25:29 PM

Please post an example of input and expected output. Please make the number base and character set clear, or state that it is raw data. We normally assume ASCII characters, but your sample characters are mostly outside the normal printable range.

Your example looks like hexadecimal rather than binary which may be why nobody has responded.

Please also post the version of Unix/Linux. There are core tools in most unixes to handle conversion.

If you are trying to fix a non-text data file this is not a job for shell scripting.
