Hello, I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I would like to create an application that converts strings of text into its ascii equal. If someone knows of a good tutorial that would be great.Thanks alot.

Do you mean: replace each character in the text strings by its corresponding ASCII code? Could you be more specific.

hexdump -C yourfile.txt

Yes I am sorry. Replace each charecter in a string with its corresponding ascii code. Its late and I have been up for awhile. I should have been more specific. I would like to be able to do this in c++ if possible. Thanks.

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  char *msg = "This is a message";

  while(*msg)
  {
    cout << (int)*msg << endl;
    msg++;
  }

  return 0;
}

There is a command already which will display the octal, hexadecimal, or decimal values of the characters in a file. It is the 'oc' command.

I guess you mean 'od' (primarily: octal dump)
