Re^4: Convert binary file to ascii

I am using binmode as in the OP, but I am seeing some strange behavior. With one of my input files it did skip "0a" bytes. I created a new test file with some "0a" bytes, but with this file it worked correctly, not skipping the "0a" bytes as you suggested. I am doing more investigation to see what's really going on.

Hm. Maybe the hex editor is failing to binmode the file? Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

I'm not sure. I updated my post right above yours with some more information on the exact behavior. I have a sample input file that causes the behavior but I guess I don't know how to share it with you.	[reply]
