    Hi, You are so veeery close, only that I get: Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1.

      Hi, You are so veeery close, only that I get: Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1. : Rolf

      It appears you are using CMD or COMMAND in Windows for your command-line interpretor, which doesn't know what to do with the quotes. Change I0's one-liner to this:

      perl -e "print unpack qq(B*),shift" Rolf

      ... and it will work.

      mkmcconn
      (or use cygwin, instead)

        Thank you so much!! It works really nice, and a big thanks to everybody for helping me with this. Regards Rolf

    Nice. For some reason I thought this approach had been suggested and rejected by Rolf but I misunderstood which part he objected to. These are much cleaner than the ones I came up with above.
