Hi, I'm sorry, I've added a Unix-style 'echo' in my code, just to prove the concept. Suppose you've captured the whole string in $string, you could do a rudimentary dump by:

@chars=split //, $string; 
for(@chars) {
    print $_ . " " . ord($_) . "\n"; 
}

This will print one character and its ascii decimal code per line (of course this will also output a newline as a newline, so the output isn't very pretty)
