Example use: ./bin2hex binary_file_1 | ./hex2bin - > binary_file_2. diff -s binary_file_1 binary_file_2. This works with busybox, but hex2bin is unfortunately limited by the maximum length of the argument given to xargs, so this method will only work for small files (less than 32 KiB on my desktop system). Share.
So if your ibase is 2, then if you set your obase to 10, it won't do anything, as 10 in binary is 2. Hence you need to use hexadecimal notation. So binary to decimal would be (watch that obase is A) Binary to decimal: $> echo 'ibase=2;obase=A;11110001011010'|bc. 15450.
Okay, in the light of what you have said and what I understood, I have a couple of suggestions to you. The first one, converts each hex line into a new binary line and puts a line break at the end of each line. here is that solution: len=${#line} binline="". index=1. while [ ${index} -le ${len} ] do.
When either ibase or obase is assigned a single digit value from the list in Lexical Conventions in bc, the value shall be assumed in hexadecimal. (For example, ibase=A sets to base ten, regardless of the current ibase value.) Otherwise, the behavior is undefined when digits greater than or equal to the value of ibase appear in the input.
The best way to understand this is that everything is binary. What you are trying to do is produce an ascii string of binary digits that represent the binary of the original ascii codded message. Therefore it is irrelevant that the original is ascii coded (well almost, as long as it is). Now you just need a tool that can print the binary as text.
I don't think there's a reasonable (and reasonably fast) way to convert hexadecimal to binary using only POSIX tools. It can be done fairly easy in Perl. The following script converts hexadecimal to binary, ignoring any input character that isn't a hexadecimal digit. It complains if an input line contains an odd number of hexadecimal digits.
For information, the first column is the hexadecimal offset of the bytes, the rest of the line is 8 sets of two-byte displays, i.e. 16 bytes, which is why the second line starts with an offset of 10, which is 16 in hexadecimal. The two-byte representation depends on the endianness of the system.
This question: Binary to hexadecimal and decimal in a shell script Asks how to convert FROM binary, not TO a binary number. The answers there deal either with binary byte (as opposed to binary number, i.e.: a base-2 number) using xxd, or some other external tool. So, no, this question is not a duplicate of that.
18. xxd can also convert the other way. xxd -r. Share. Improve this answer. answered Aug 29, 2016 at 21:13. Alexander. 9,960 3 42 62. I would like to do the same with hexdump but I haven't found any clue :- (.
xxd is a hex-dump utility shipped as part of the vim-common package It has a handy -p option which outputs a continuous 'plain/postscript' hexdump style..
