I've said all of the information I have. I don't know if I need to 'dump'. As I said before I'm completely new to this programming language, so I have no specifics. According to management, that should be enough information between the two posts I have left.
"According to management..." ... famous last words. ;-)
Courtney, we can't help you with the header because you haven't given a format. Given that, I'll just suggest that you need to figure out whether the bytes are in Little-Endian order or Big-Endian order, and how to handle the sign bit(s).
Do you have a sample output file that corresponds to an input buinary file? You need to know that you can verify your output.
I think we've given you a good start. From this point, it's a matter of you learning the Perl functions and syntax, and there are lots of pointers to get you there, including the Super Search functionality on this website.
