Your eye!

I was just joking back with GrapefruiTgirl.

I really don't care to re-type my own code. I use a scanner with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software. Sometimes the files are not always readily available but the print copy is so scan is a must since my big fingers & hands slow me down.

I don't understand, what does OCR have to do with an online tutorial?

Or are you talking about paper books?

Ha-ha, that caught me by surprise, unSpawn. Funny stuff, man!

I was speaking about hard copy. Not cut & paste.

Going back to the whole "playing non-audio files as sound" thing, I found a way to do it that isn't limited to 8kHz mono:

Put this in your terminal (assuming you have SoX installed):

play -q -t raw -s -b 16 -r 44100 -c 2 <file of your choice here>

This plays the file as a signed, 16-bit PCM wave at 44100Hz, in stereo.

Another advantage of doing it this way is that you have control over the volume (-v option).

Enjoy

EDIT: DON'T do this with device files! I tried it, and not only did I not hear anything (tried it with /dev/input/mouse0), but I also couldn't get play to abort with ^C. I had to kill it manually, which didn't allow it to release the audio device, and so I had to reboot to get sound back.

Have you found any interesting examples you can give us?

Try redirecting the output of a command that produces a lot of text output to a file (e.g. "ls -R / > all-dirs-list.txt" or "tree / > tree-list.txt"), then play back the text file.

lets see maybe so

I still think cat whatever.iso > /dev/dsp gives the most interesting results.

Testing code syntax highlighting:

PHP Code:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    printf("Hello, World!");
    return 0;
} 


Okay, so it's not the best, but it kind of works for C

(I think it would be neat if there were actually a BBCode tag for C/C++ syntax highlighting, instead of just PHP.)

Alot of programming sites have
[code language=c]
printf(":");
[/code]
or
[code=c]
[/code]
