How to display the ascii characters in java using unix OS
The below code is not able to converting the Hexa decimal characters into Ascii characers in Unix.
Code:
byte[] bytes = newbyte[hex.length()/2];

for(int i=0;i<bytes.length;i++){
bytes[i] = (byte)Integer.parseInt(hex.substring(2*i, 2*i+2),16);
}
String multi = new String(bytes);
System.out.println(" multi value from unHex method "+multi);

The above code when i run in Windows, displaying ¡+Õjð, but in unix dispalying different characters.



Do i need to set any characterset before converting the hexa into Ascii. Please guide me what i have to do.

Lower ASCII characters.

Hi, I'm writing a BBS telnet program. I'm having issues with it not displaying lower ASCII characters. For example, instead of displaying the "smiley face" character (Ctrl-B), it displays ^B. Is this because i'm using Ncurses? If so, is there any way around this? Thanks. (3 Replies)

srec_ascii_hex

srec_ascii_hex(5)						File Formats Manual						 srec_ascii_hex(5)

NAME

       srec_ascii_hex - Ascii-Hex file format

DESCRIPTION

       This  format is also known as the Ascii-Space-Hex or Ascii-Hex-Space format.  If you know who invented this format, please let me know.	If
       you have a better or more complete description, I'd like to know that, too.

       The file starts with a start-of-text (STX or Control-B) character (0x02).  Everything before the STX is ignored.

       Each data byte is represented as 2 hexadecimal characters, followed by an "execution character".  The  default  execution  character  is  a
       space, although many programs which write this format omit the space character immediately preceding end-of-line.

       The  address  for  data	bytes  is set by using a sequence of $Annnn, characters, where nnnn is the 4-character ascii representation of the
       address.  The comma is required.  There is no need for an address record unless there are gaps.	Implicitly, the file starts a address 0 if
       no address is set before the first data byte.

       The file ends with an end-of-text (ETX or Control-C) character (0x03).  Everything following the ETX is ignored.

       It  is  also  possible to specify a running 16-bit checksum using a sequence of $Snnnn, characters, although this usually appears after the
       ETX character and is thus often ignored.

   Variant Forms
       In addition to a space character, the execution character can also be percent (%) called  "ascii-hex-percent"  format,  apostrophe  (')	or
       comma (,) called "ascii-hex-comma" format.  The file must use the same execution character throughout.

       If the execution character is a comma, the address and checksum commands are terminated by a dot (.) rather than a comma (,).

   Size Multiplier
       In general, binary data will expand in sized by approximately 3.0 times when represented with this format.

EXAMPLE

       Here is an example ascii-hex file.  It contains the data "Hello, World[rq] to be loaded at address 0x1000.
	      ^B $A1000,
	      48 65 6C 6C 6F 2C 20 57 6F 72 6C 64 0A ^C
