Thanks you very much!
####This is a separate request###
I have been asked also to convert data into ascii stream with no delimiters.The data is store in a file say "codefile", it contains data like this

Have a Nice Day!


I wrote follwing script



-------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
while read -n1 char
do
printf "%d" \'$char
done < codefile
----------------------------------------------------------
Output is

./coder.sh
72971181010970781059910106897121330

But instead of spaces it prints 0(bolded in upper output), Which is supposed to be 32 (Ascii vale of space),Also it print an exta 0 at the end (marked as red).
Can any one please help me how to debug, Does printf not take special charaters as variable to print ? or the variable is not able to store the spcial characters like space?..Please help

Unfortunetly I am not familor with perl

Thanks in advance

appreciting all ur earlier efforts
