I can giv u logic.

we have only 1st chracter to control the flow,else we cant handle..

letc consider ascii values 1st

[A-Z]=[65-96]
[a-z]=[97-132]
and special characters like space=32 etc..

so if 1st character is 1 then we have to read 3 charaters continusly then assign this value to a valiable and print its decimal value

then read 4th character and check if its 1 again same logic,

in case its not one we have to read 2 characters and and print its decimal value..and so on till EOF

Did any one get any idea of my logic or correct me if any one has any thing else suggest?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methyl sample code for u..
a file contails a values (acsii) like this
65666768

I have to read the file and convert these values in its actual values
so out put of above should be
ABCD

exsample 2

Have a Nice Day!


Note: there may be special chacters too ,for e$xample "!" in upper example

If any one can giv me code for vice versa of it i.e. changing simple text of decimal to ascii, it wud be appreciated

eg:Have a Nice Day!

Date::Manip::ConfigFile(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				Date::Manip::ConfigFile(3)

NAME
Date::Manip::ConfigFile - sample config file DESCRIPTION
Date::Manip is a highly configurable module. Many of the options can be set in a config file. This document includes a sample config file. The config file consists of three sections. The first section is config variables. This is described more fully in the Date::Manip::Config document. The second section is the holiday definition section. The third section is the event definition section. These are both described more fully in the Date::Manip::Holidays document. SAMPLE CONFIG FILE
The sample config file below works for newer versions of Date::Manip. Some of the config variables may change, or be deprecated, and some may not work with earlier versions of Date::Manip, so it is strongly suggested that you check out the documentation for the version of Date::Manip you are using to confirm any of the config variables you want to include. ################################ # CONFIG VARIABLES ################################ # See Date::Manip::Config man page for a description of all # config variables. # To include configuration information from additional # config files: ConfigFile = /path/to/another/config/file ConfigFile = /path/to/another/config/file2 # For handling other languages Language = English DateFormat = US Encoding = # Set the current timezone: SetDate = now,America/New_York # Set the work work WorkWeekBeg = 1 WorkWeekEnd = 5 WorkDay24Hr = 0 WorkDayBeg = 08:00 WorkDayEnd = 17:00 TomorrowFirst = 1 # Misc. variables YYtoYYYY = 89 FirstDay = 1 Jan1Week1 = 0 Printable = 0 DefaultTime = midnight RecurRange = none ################################ # HOLIDAYS ################################ # See the Date::Manip::Holidays man page for a description of # this section. *HOLIDAYS # FEDERAL HOLIDAYS ################## # You can express New Year's Day as the actual day (Jan 1) # or the observed day (Jan 1 or the nearest week day). # You can't include BOTH because once a day is marked as # a holiday, a second definition will treat it the same # as a weekend and choose another day to assign the holiday # to (so there would be two days designated as New Years). # Jan 1 = New Year's Day 1*1:0:1:0:0:0*DWD = New Year's Day (observed) # Two different ways to defined MLK day third Monday in Jan = Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday # 1*1:3:1:0:0:0 = Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday # Observed by federal employees in Washington D.C. # Jan 20 = Inauguration day third Monday in Feb = Washington's Birthday last Monday in May = Memorial Day 1st Monday in Sep = Labor Day second Monday in Oct = Columbus Day # Jul 4 = Independence Day 1*7:0:4:0:0:0*DWD = Independence Day # 11/11 = Veterans Day 1*11:0:11:0:0:0*DWD = Veteran's Day # To define both Thanksgiving and the day after, use the # following two lines: fourth Thu in Nov = Thanksgiving 1*11:4:4:0:0:0*FD1 = Day after Thanksgiving # Dec 25 = Christmas 1*12:0:25:0:0:0*DWD = Christmas # SAMPLE HOLIDAYS ################## # You can define a one-time-only holiday by specifying # the day and year. 6/2/1999 = A special test holiday for 1999 ################################ # EVENTS ################################ # See the Date::Manip::Holidays man page for a description of # this section. *EVENTS 2000-02-01 = Event01 2000-02-01-12:00:00 = Event02 02-01 = Event03 02-01 12:00:00 = Event04 1*2:0:3:13:00:00 = Event05 2000-02-05 10:00:00 ; 2000-02-05 10:59:59 = Event06 2000-02-05 ; 2000-02-06 = Event07 02-05 ; 02-06 = Event08 2000-02-07 10:00:00 ; 0:0:0:0:3:0:0 = Event09 02-07 10:00:00 ; 0:0:0:0:4:0:0 = Event10 1*2:0:7:10:00:00 ; 0:0:0:0:5:0:0 = Event11 SEE ALSO
