I don't use PowerShell all that often but when I do I'm blown away by it's power and turned off by it's verbosity. I tend to stick to bash CLI scripts and Python these days and my beloved Lua for embedded scripting. Ever since Windows got a Linux subsystem I spend all my time in a bash shell :) On 30/12/2020 2:09 am, Frank Swarbrick wrote: > It doesn't look like Windows 10 included PowerShell supports EBCDIC, but the > open source version, PowerShell 7.1 does. > > PS C:\Users\fswar> Format-Hex 1047.txt > > Label: C:\Users\fswar\1047.txt > > Offset Bytes Ascii > 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F > ------ ----------------------------------------------- ----- > 0000000000000000 F0 F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 F9 40 ðñòóôõö÷øù@ > > PS C:\Users\fswar> Get-Content 1047.txt -encoding 1047 | Out-File out.txt > -encoding ascii -nonewline > PS C:\Users\fswar> Format-Hex out.txt > > Label: C:\Users\fswar\out.txt > > Offset Bytes Ascii > 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F > ------ ----------------------------------------------- ----- > 0000000000000000 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 20 0123456789 > > > > ________________________________ > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> on behalf of > David Crayford <[email protected]> > Sent: Tuesday, December 29, 2020 10:42 AM > To: [email protected] <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: EBCDIC-ASCII converter and other tools > > On 30/12/2020 1:12 am, R.S. wrote: >> This is even simpler tool, maybe it address rare need - just to >> truncate first nnn bytes from beginning of file >> Possible usage: >> truncfile -header -12384 ifile ofile >> truncates/deletes header, which is 12384 bytes long, the output is >> written to ofile.
