OT: Some advice on perl: read byte to hex string
I've managed to create an application for reading some bytes of data
from an id card reader connected into a serial port.
But it's under Win$ ...
So, now I've been trying for at least capturing the data then convert
it the way I want.
The convertion is called byte to hex string convertion.
Below is the perl script I have so far but the result is not what I
expect it.
The same algorithm works perfectly in java and vc++
Thanks.

$c is not a byte; it is a variable that contains a 1-byte string. So doing
bitwise operations like on it won't do what you expect. What it will do is
convert $c to a numeric value (if possible) and then perform the . For most
of the data you are probably reading, it's converting it to 0 because it's
not numeric to begin with. The rest of the time, it would convert it to some
number between 1 and 9.
Presumably, what you want is the value of the byte from 0 to 255. So, you
first need to convert $c to that value using the ord function.
$c1 = ((ord($c) 0xf0) 4) 0x0f;
$str1 = hex($c1); #convert to hex
I don't know what this hex function is supposed to do. Most likely, you want
$str1 = sprintf("%02x", $c1);
$c2 = $c 0x0F; #get the low nibble
$str2 = hec($c2); #convert to hex
$str2 = sprintf("%02x", ord($c) 0x0f);
Thank you for all your suggestions.
It's solved by using :
for ($i=0; $i (length($gotit)); $i++) {
my $c = substr($gotit, $i, 1);
$str1 = sprintf("%01x", ((ord($c) 0xf0) 4)
0x0f);
$str2 = sprintf("%01x", ord($c) 0x0f);
print $str1.$str2."\t";
print "\n";
}
At least for converting the data.
But another problem is it's only show the first 8 bytes only.
The data sent from the device is 11 bytes, so now 3 bytes are
missing.
I think it's something about the buffer (?)
::welly hartanto::
Below is the flow on how to read the data :
The thing is the data sometimes will form in a negative byte.
That's why some bitwise and AND operation exist.
To produce the right output I should :
1. Seperate the first 4 bit ( with 0xF0 and 4 bitwise) .
2. And get the value back with 0x0F.
3. Store the value ( name it "first").
4. The rest 4 bit with the 0x0F.
5. Store the value as "second".
6. Make both value formed as hex string then concate them as
firstsecond.
For example, the first byte which will be sent from the card reader
device
will always 0110(bin), which is 126(dec) or 7E(hex).
1. The 0xF0
0110 --- original value
0111
2. The 4
0111 4 = 0111
3. The 0xF0
0111
0111
4. The value is 7(dec) and 7(hex)
5. The last 4bit with 0xF0
0110
1110
6. The value is 14(dec) or E(hex)
7. So the result will be 7E ( after concate with the first value ).

Then create a file with 0700 for everyuser place in a save place : #!/bin/bash smbmount //serveraddress/sharedfolder /pathtomountingpoint -o username=whatever,password=pwd; exit 0; add these line to $HOME/user/.bashrc : if [ -f PATHTOSCRIPTFILE ]; then . PATHTOSCRIPTFILE; fi that's all. I have about 500+ users (students). I do not like to store user passwords as clear text in user's home directory. Is there way to go around this. That's why 0700 file mask is recommended or 0500. And have the script name not to "show up". Name it "fancybash.sh" or something inrelated ;-) You can find yourself the most secure way to place the script, but for this to work it needs to be stored in a place where your user have access into it. But if the shared samba folder use the same authentication ( user/pwd ) for every user, you could have root do the mount thing. Sorry for wrong info, I mean if the samba shared folder is the same folder that needed by every user then you can create a directory which accessible for all users and mounting it via /etc/fstab. Create a group where all of your users must be added into. And have the share folder mapped with the group pemission. For example : //serverpath/thesharedfolder /mnt/samba smbfs user,password=smbpassword,uid=1000 ,gid=1000,username=smbusername,auto 0 0 I believe there are more advanced and easier ways to do it.

Different ip table and missing /dev/usb/lp after using udev
hi all.. First...I've got debian sid 2.6.5-1-686 in my office. We've got a pretty large network over here, and as long as I know, divide into two ip tables. One got 172.16.1.xxx the other 172.16.2.xxx But somehow I can't use my Samba to browse those computers connected into different ip table with mine. I've got the 172.16.1.xxx ip address and I can't browse those who have 172.16.2.xxx. Is there any Samba configuration should to be configure ? Note : I can browse those 172.16.2.xxx computers within my windows box. ( I've got dual boot winxp and debian ) Second...How to recover missing /dev/usb/lpx ??? Several days ago I installed udev, but now I've removing and purging its config. since I can't see any benefits ( or I don't know the benefits...) The problem is with my CUPS. My CUPS works well to print all shared printers in my network, but won't print via HP DJ 3535 attached to my USB port. I've been configuring it via http://localhost:631 and got device URI usb:/dev/usb/lp0. But when I do a test print CUPS says that the device /dev/usb/lp0 doesn't exist.

Hi, guys I'm back !!! ;-) After got satifying answers for my earlier question, now I still let all of you call me a stupid newbie...:D I'd download a novellclient for linux from SourceForge, and I'd installed with IP and IPX protocol as requested by the Novell server in my office. The installation went well...but, when I started it, there's an error message tellin' me : error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory i'd tried to find some solutions from SourceForge milist, but it just told me to get the RPM library file from several website which somehow didn't want to give me that file ( i mean the download was 'successfully' failed ) As usuall, my question is : could you guys help me please.

Hi, all ... I'm a newbie debian user. For now I've been using debian and samba as "interface" for those Win-based computers in my office network. I wanna ask you a question : 1. Is there a tool or utility to browse those Win-basedcomputers and other Linux-based computers with GUI ? Somekind like My Network Places in other OS... 2. Is there a tool or utility to remote Win-based computer via debian ? Sorry, my question may be sounds silly. :D Thanx.. Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Search - Find what youre looking for faster.
