Re: how to extract original string from binary files?

It appears that you aware of the unpack templates, but are having trouble using them. You cannot post a binary file here, but you can post an ASCII hex string just like source code, within code blocks, say the first 60-100 bytes of your binary file? Then explain what this byte stream means to you. Folks here would understand a C struct. Show your code so far if you can.

As you mention EBCDIC, are you aware that Perl can decode EBCDIC data very well? Usually decoding the conent of (`PIC X`) fields using `my $printable = decode('cp37', $input);` [download] or `my $printable = decode('cp1047', $input);` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
