Hi..

This is sample of my binary file
84 47 00 0c 00 00 11 0a 03 50 35 04 00 64 0a
The record length located at second byte with length 2 bytes. Based on the sample, the record length is "47 00" and after it convert to decimal it must be 71.

That mean before convert the hex value to decimal, i must sort the number from "47 00" to "00 47". After that, the number can be convert to decimal which is "0047" to "71".

My question, is it possible to sort the record using pack function ?. Could you give some example...

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
