I am trying to convert a file into hex from text with a view to doing some manipulation before turning it back to text.
#! /usr/bin/perl -w undef $/; open(IN, "< file") || die "no on file"; $file = <IN>; print unpack('H*',"$file"); print "\n\nCONV TO TXT HERE\n\n"; print pack('H*',"$file"); print $file; the hex conversation appears of but the return output from pack garbage (well not text). I am shure its me missing something or not understanding any ideas ?
