But if your question is about converting URIs, please ask that instead. You'll want to become familiar with URI.

thanks DamnDirtyApe, adrianh, sauoq and merlyn for the great advice. To give you an idea as for the basis of my question, I'm interesting in building a small tool that will convert hex content in a Snort IDS signature to a char value and, conversely, take a known attack string and quickly convert it to hex for signature creation. I'll probably use something like `print unpack "H*", "abc";` [download] for the char to hex conversion. cheers! -semio	[reply] [d/l]

You actually prefer `printf "%x%x%x",ord('a'),ord('b'),ord('c')` [download] to `print unpack "H*", "abc"` [download] !!??! Remind me not to hire you. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker	[reply] [d/l] [select]
