in thread Help Please: FCS Binary 2 ASCII conversion

at the beginning the results are correct then towards the end the results are wrong eg: the last results are: "-2.52964307903735e-29 3.69734402349445e+19 -2.80729058346108e-35 126837727232 -3.24638382888599e+26 6248.572265625 2916415963136 126304272384 1.26817648901879e-26" while in the file FloatData4031.csv at the end of the file should be: "2736.80,54985.20,13191.12,1128.60,31017.60,197.64,19.44,1706.65,5477.33,-36.52,94.62 2736.90,39273.60,5982.12,86.40,4153.68,32.40,-8.64,526.44,1362.11,-14.11,45.65 2736.90,63292.80,10270.80,1210.68,32983.20,158.76,34.56,1642.45,4472.60,68.06,83.00 2737.00,31156.80,5778.00,1323.00,33670.08,110.16,7.56,949.09,1186.63,-31.54,73.04 "

    Again, you forgot the <code></code> tags. Once more and I stop reading your posts.

    What output does the program list for "\$BYTEORD" => ??? on your machine?

    What hardware are you running on?

        Hm. Same file format. Same hardware. Different result. That leaves your perl version.

        I think maybe the endian formats '>' & '<' didn't get into Perl until 5.10, so if you're running 5.8 that could explain the different results. But...are you getting any error messages?
