Re: Converting Files

Courtney, I too am new to perl & am trying to us a binary file. If you don't mind, I'd like to message you my email address so we can compare notes. I just now created a user name of Aim9b. I used my work email so I won't have my password until tomorrow. You can read my anonymous post by searching for bits on or about 5/25. These folks have been very helpful. Thank you. Aim9b.

The basic format: Proprietary binary data file composed of several header fields of unsigned binary data followed by a list of 2 byte signed data items. I want to take the data items and convert them into a CSV file.	[reply]

Are you under *NIX (e.g. Linux)? If so, then you should have `od(1)` at your hand and surely ports are available for other osen, including Windows as well as other tools.	[reply] [d/l]
