Debian :: Perl Script - Converting Unicode To ASCII?
May 7, 2010I'm trying to write a Perl script that will convert text to ASCII. I'm particularly interested in converting files created with MS Windows, so I used Notepad to create a few test files.
I have had some success with the following script:
[[ Script Deleted -- see subsequent posts ]]
After coming back /home/ to Debian, I used file to examine the file types:
$ file ansi.txt unicode_big-endian.txt unicode.txt utf8.txt
ansi.txt: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
unicode_big-endian.txt: Big-endian UTF-16 Unicode character data, with CRLF line terminators
unicode.txt: Little-endian UTF-16 Unicode character data, with CRLF, CR line terminators
utf8.txt: UTF-8 Unicode (with BOM) text, with CRLF line terminators
After running:
$ uni2ascii.pl -i ansi.txt -c ASCII -o new_ansi.txt
$ uni2ascii.pl -i unicode_big-endian.txt -c utf16 -o new_unicode_big-endian.txt
$ uni2ascii.pl -i unicode.txt -c utf16 -o new_unicode.txt
$ uni2ascii.pl -i utf8.txt -c utf8 -o new_utf8.txt
Everything appears good:
$ file new_ansi.txt new_unicode_big-endian.txt new_unicode.txt new_utf8.txt
new_ansi.txt: ASCII text
new_unicode_big-endian.txt: ASCII text
new_unicode.txt: ASCII text
new_utf8.txt: ASCII text
But the "little-endian file" does not convert properly:
$ md5sum new_ansi.txt new_unicode_big-endian.txt new_unicode.txt new_utf8.txt
c4def7932bc151b9e786b6ca1299162c new_ansi.txt
c4def7932bc151b9e786b6ca1299162c new_unicode_big-endian.txt
5b62a013dced4f2c2c0af45ea6388c1e new_unicode.txt
c4def7932bc151b9e786b6ca1299162c new_utf8.txt
When I use cat to print the new_unicode.txt file in an Emacs terminal, a ^@ appears on the last (empty) line. When I open the new_unicode.txt with KWrite, a warning message tells me that the file is a "binary" and "saving it will result in a corrupt file."

General :: Convert The Numbers Back Into Their Corresponding ASCII Character
May 19, 2010To encrypt the text, we take the word "python" and make it at least the same size as "welcome home" by repeating it as follows:
w e l c o m e h o m e
p y t h o n p y t h o n
Then, we convert each letter into its numerical ASCII value as follows:
w e l c o m e h o m e = 119 101 108 099 111 109 101 032 104 111 109 101

View 4 Replies View RelatedCentOS 5 :: Convert Between "ASCII English Text" And "ASCII Text"?
Aug 3, 2011This is weird, and I never noticed before, but now I have an application that is borking on weird things like when /etc/hosts is of one file format or another, and I don't even know the difference between the two (google doesn't tell much either). on CentOS 5.5/5.6 x86_64: a which on the following is an interesting tell:
vi = /bin/vi
vim = /usr/bin/vim
both are actually vim version 7.0.237 but sum differently, and although they are both actually separate executables in the stock installs of CentOS I've been building, on most distros, and older versions of CentOS it seems, vi is usually just a symlink to vim - but again, not in these fresh installs it seems. When I create a file with the 'vi' above, it defaults (usually) to "ASCII text" (but not always) When I create a file with the 'vim' above, it defaults to "ASCII English text" (and causes a particular application I'm working with to bork and barf). It seems the OS is installed by default yielding both file types too, as evidenced by the following:

Programming :: Prepend To ASCII Text File In C?
Jun 15, 2010To start off I would like to acknowledge that I am not a very good C programmer and pretty much everything I know has been self taught through mostly trial and error. So forgive me if there is an obvious answer to my question, or if I don't immediately grasp the concepts involved in the possible solution.
Basically, I'm writing an application which will be creating log file entries rather rapidly (potentially hundreds per minute), and I would like each new line to appear at the top of the log file, rather than the end. Opening a text file in append mode is easy enough, but I can't seem to find any obvious way to do the opposite.
I have been looking online and it seems that there exists no standard way to do this, and I have only been able to find a few mentions of how somebody might achieve it. The most common method seems to be using two files and copying the data back and forth between them. This seems like it would be insanely I/O intensive with the number of lines I'm likely to be generating. If this is the best method to use, I will give it a shot; though I am not 100% clear on how to implement it, I am also open to any other ideas as to how to accomplish this, and I don't have to worry about portability since the program already uses Linux-only libraries. So calling out to sed or something is not necessarily out of the question (though I imagine performance would also be an issue there).

View 4 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Finding A Tool That Can Directly Convert Mp3 File To A Swf File?
Jan 26, 2009I'm looking for a tool that can directly convert mp3 file to a swf file. Tried ffmprg - 'ffmpeg -i master.mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f swf -y -vn new.swf', output is as follows:
Output #0, swf, to 'new.swf':
Stream #0.0: Audio: 0x0000, 22050 Hz, stereo, 0 kb/s
Stream mapping:
Stream #0.0 -> #0.0
Unsupported codec for output stream #0.0
I found a way to perform this task using ffmpeg to convert the mp3 file to a wav file, and converting the wav into a swf file using swftools (wav2swf), although this is not a good option because the output swf file size is very big - for a 12mb input 320kbps stereo mp3 file, the swf file is 25mb. Also downloaded a free direct mp3 to swf conversion software, which had an output swf file - with the same 12mb mp3 file - of ~400kb.
The requirements I have from the tool are:
1. Can be ran from the shell.
2. Direct conversion, or an indirect one that will produce a small output swf file.
3. Suport for multiple file conversion is a plus.
Programming :: Convert An Arbitrary Binary File Into A Executable File?
Feb 18, 2010In a project I'm working on with a few other people, I got the task of writing an assembler. The last thing I do is convert the commands into a binary representation, and jam it into a file. Now one of my teammates said he'd like to be able to "reference" the code within another program. He said he'd be able to do this if the file I output is a Linux object file. I'm thinking it'd also work as an executable. Anyway, he said he'd like to be able to grab the file and reference the binary by address. I'm still fuzzy on this, and if you're confused with what I said here, please tell me so I can ask him for better details.Anyway, I'm aware that gcc can compile files to ".o", but that's only for C/C++, and my file is just binary. I'm also aware of "ld", but I haven't seen any use of it to help me. I'm happy to hear suggestions as to what I can do. If anything, I think I'll implement a few functions to grab the bits and hand them to him in an array or something.

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: FTP "ASCII" Mode - RFC 959 - "File Transfer Protocol"
Jun 8, 2010[ This thread is a result of <<mod edit---another thread>> RFC 959, "File Transfer Protocol", dictates:
Code:
3.1.1.1. ASCII TYPE
This is the default type and must be accepted by all FTP implementations. It is intended primarily for the transfer of text files, except when both hosts would find the EBCDIC
type more convenient.
The sender converts the data from an internal character representation to the standard 8-bit NVT-ASCII representation (see the Telnet specification). The receiver will convert the data from the standard form to his own internal form. In accordance with the NVT standard, the <CRLF> sequence should be used where necessary to denote the end of a line of text. Regardless of <<mod edit--another member's>> attempt to misinform and claim some sort of expertise in whatever, the ASCII mode works as expected.
Quote:
// From <<mod edit---another thread>>
So, go on, vi a document in linux, save it with a .txt extension then ftp get it from a windows machine. Make sure to open it with Notepad. I am writing this post from the very same Windows machine I used in order to conduct the exact experiment you are suggesting. The text file has been successfully converted. If it has not worked for you in about 20 years, I would suggest you start using an FTP server that does not suck, or for the very least one that respects the FTP standard. It is also possible that you used a client which does not use ASCII mode by default, in which case we are dealing with PEBKAC rather than with bad server software.
The purpose of this thread isn't to continue the odd debate regarding signatures that was starting in <<mod edit---another thread>> but rather to (hopefully) protect various users from trusting <<mod edit--another member>> in this certain (FTP) matter. Tinkster closed the thread just as I was preparing to post, thus giving <<mod edit--another member>> the last "word". Once again: he doesn't know what he is talking about, despite his "doing this for over a decade". I'm wondering if "this" means "spreading misinformation and reinforcing it with claims of being an expert".
