Programming

guys,

Can somebody help me with a Unix 'C' program, to convert the Hexa decimal value to binary value.


Thank you
Cheers

Homework? What exactly are the requirements? Just output 1s and 0s?

I'd start with some consistency checks on the input (even number of characters, all between 0 and F), sscanf() 2 characters at a time into an unsigned char, loop over the byte with a bitwise AND, shifting the mask right at every iteration, and output a '1' or '0' as needed. Maybe throw in a blank every 8 bits for better readability.

nope!!! not home work.
actually i want to convert the 0D (Carriage return ) to binary bits. not to the binary ascii values like ( 00001101) but, to some un readable format. Can you please suggest me how i can get this. I am implemeting some HL7 standard which i don't about this.

You mean, like this?

Code:

int val;
sscanf("0D", "%02x", &val);
