Convert file
hai..
can we convert the file which contains hex / character / base64 format into text format that can be read. Assume that i have this line of hex formated:
00 02 FF 0F 47 5F
after convert i got this text "Hello". Can we do that?
Thanks,
Suhaimi

"can we convert the file ... into text format that can be read"
I don't understand since this is how we read text files. Opening a file with the binary values 48 45 4C 4C 4F will give the text "HELLO". Do you mean you want to open a text file with the text "48 45 4C 4C 4F" and have it convert the three chars "48 " into one char "H"?

void Convert(char* pStr, int StrSize)
{
// pStr is a pointer to text string to be converted
// and should be checked before calling this to
// make sure all chars are '0-9' 'a-f' A-F' space <CR> or <LF>
char ch;
char Byte;
int NibbleCount = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < StrSize; i++)
{
ch = pStr;
// make sure we have a char
if(ch != 0x0A && ch != 0x0D && ch != 0x20)
{
if (ch >= '0' && ch <= '9') ch -= '0';
else if (ch >= 'a' && ch <= 'f') ch -= ('a' - 10);
else if (ch >= 'A' && ch <= 'F') ch -= ('A' - 10);
if(!(NibbleCount % 2)) // Set lower nibble
{
Byte = (ch << 4);
}
else // Set upper nibble
{
Byte += ch;
printf("%c", Byte);
}
NibbleCount++; // increment for each nibble
}
else
printf("%c",ch); // print <CR><LF> or Space
pStr++;

converts into "Hello"? How did you convert it?
what format is this supposed to be? hex, or character, or base64?
