But now, the following point is the last: how to select my datas using awk with binary datas ?
I don't think you can. You could write a C utility to do that:
For that matter, cutting awk out entirely could let you do everything with full, 64-bit double-precision variables.

I just realized something here:
I think you're writing too much data. sizeof(buffer) doesn't give you the number of elements, it gives you the size in bytes! That should be
Or just "3".
Here is what I did . . . . I FTP'd several *.pdf files from a web site to a UNIX server, and did not set the transfer mode to BIN, now Adobe thinks that the documents are corrupted. Is there a way to convert the *.pdf files to Binary so that Adobe can open them again. I would just re-download... (2 Replies)
after converting my ebcidic file to ascii i get the following output

Hi,
Is there a way to convert the binary file to ascii . the binary file is pipe delimited.
from source the file(pipe delimited) is ftped to mainframe and from mainframe it is ftped to the unix box using binary format. Is there a way to change it back to ascii and view it?
Thanks! (3 Replies)
Hello all,
I am working with ftp servers in unix, and always I have to get and put files but I don't know exactly if I have to get or put them as an ascii or binary. Some files that I use are: .txt, .sav, .fmb, .pct, .sh, .ksh, .dat, .log.
Somebody can tell me what is the difference between... (2 Replies)
Hi,
I have got a library file, created by compiling C code. The file information with "file" command, gives it a "application/x-archive" type file. I want to extract the release string of my software from this file, so that i can know which version of C files were used to create the lib.

Hi All,
I am facing EBCDIC to ASCII Binary conversion on Solaris i-series Unix system.
However this is working fine on Solaris Sparc Unix system.
Input file having EBCDIC format does not work on Solaris i-series Unix system.
Could you please tell me, what will be the root cause for same? (14 Replies)
Hello,
With bash-script (ubunto server) I'm trying to read a binary file and, for each character, give back its ascii code (including extended ascii). For example:
HEX => ASCII => PRINT
f5 => 245 => õ
50 => 80 => P
To load the binary file into a variable I tried in this way: ... (2 Replies)
Dears,
I need help to convert the binary file into ASCII format.

OD(1) User Commands OD(1)NAME
od - dump files in octal and other formats
SYNOPSIS
od [OPTION]... [FILE]...
od [-abcdfilosx]... [FILE] [[+]OFFSET[.][b]]
od --traditional [OPTION]... [FILE] [[+]OFFSET[.][b] [+][LABEL][.][b]]
DESCRIPTION
Write an unambiguous representation, octal bytes by default, of FILE to standard output. With more than one FILE argument, concatenate
them in the listed order to form the input.
With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
If first and second call formats both apply, the second format is assumed if the last operand begins with + or (if there are 2 operands) a
digit. An OFFSET operand means -j OFFSET. LABEL is the pseudo-address at first byte printed, incremented when dump is progressing. For
OFFSET and LABEL, a 0x or 0X prefix indicates hexadecimal; suffixes may be . for octal and b for multiply by 512.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-A, --address-radix=RADIX
output format for file offsets; RADIX is one of [doxn], for Decimal, Octal, Hex or None
--endian={big|little}
swap input bytes according the specified order
-j, --skip-bytes=BYTES
skip BYTES input bytes first
-N, --read-bytes=BYTES
limit dump to BYTES input bytes
-S BYTES, --strings[=BYTES]
output strings of at least BYTES graphic chars; 3 is implied when BYTES is not specified
-t, --format=TYPE
select output format or formats
-v, --output-duplicates
do not use * to mark line suppression
-w[BYTES], --width[=BYTES]
output BYTES bytes per output line; 32 is implied when BYTES is not specified
--traditional
accept arguments in third form above
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
Traditional format specifications may be intermixed; they accumulate:
-a same as -t a, select named characters, ignoring high-order bit
-b same as -t o1, select octal bytes
-c same as -t c, select printable characters or backslash escapes
-d same as -t u2, select unsigned decimal 2-byte units
-f same as -t fF, select floats
-i same as -t dI, select decimal ints
-l same as -t dL, select decimal longs
-o same as -t o2, select octal 2-byte units
-s same as -t d2, select decimal 2-byte units
-x same as -t x2, select hexadecimal 2-byte units
TYPE is made up of one or more of these specifications:
a named character, ignoring high-order bit
c printable character or backslash escape
d[SIZE]
signed decimal, SIZE bytes per integer
f[SIZE]
floating point, SIZE bytes per float
o[SIZE]
octal, SIZE bytes per integer
u[SIZE]
unsigned decimal, SIZE bytes per integer
x[SIZE]
hexadecimal, SIZE bytes per integer
SIZE is a number. For TYPE in [doux], SIZE may also be C for sizeof(char), S for sizeof(short), I for sizeof(int) or L for sizeof(long).
If TYPE is f, SIZE may also be F for sizeof(float), D for sizeof(double) or L for sizeof(long double).
Adding a z suffix to any type displays printable characters at the end of each output line.
BYTES is hex with 0x or 0X prefix, and may have a multiplier suffix:
b 512
KB 1000
K 1024
MB 1000*1000
M 1024*1024
and so on for G, T, P, E, Z, Y.
EXAMPLES
od -A x -t x1z -v

od -A o -t oS -w16
