Hi, this dosn't match up the ascii character with the hex code, making
it very hard to read the output. Here is an improved version, which
prints out the hex characters vertically, directly beneath each
character. Add this to your utilities directory.
#ascii-hex-print
###
#!/usr/bin/perl -wnl012
# Prints the contents of a file a line at a time
# followed by the ASCII value of each character in vertical columns.
# Useful for debugging.
# If no filename is specified then input is read from the keyboard.
# Version 1.00 Ian Howlett [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6 July 2001
# Version 1.10 James Yolkowski [EMAIL PROTECTED] 8 July 2001
print;
@hexvals = map {sprintf "%02X", ord $_} split //;
for $a (0, 1) {print map {substr $_, $a, 1} @hexvals}

Re: chr help
The display character for ASCII text depends on the font selected. If you are using Times New Roman or New Courier, there is a longer dash at chr(151). Sounds like Word will save the doc as entered and do the changes on the fly. On Tue, 30 Jul 2002 23:49:12 -1000, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Beau E.

RE: chr help
Hi - I built a tiny .doc file with MS Word 2000 containing the text: hello - world Word did change the dash to a "long" dash on the screen. Next, I opened the .doc file in binary mode (I my case, using the C++ built-in editor) and found that line: 48 65 6C 6C 6F 20 96 20 77 6F 72 6C 64 0D 0D 0D -or- h e l l o -- w o r l d So the long dash is hex 96 or chr (150) Aloha => Beau. -Original Message- From: Gabby Dizon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 8:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: chr help Hi, I have a subroutine that finds commonly found Unicode characters that Microsoft Word uses (such as "smart quotes") and converts them to plain ASCII text.
