I have to agree - it IS cool.

But when I try BBQ's code to unpack an image to hex, I receive the following error:

Too many arguments for substr near "'')"
Execution aborted due to compilation errors

Suggestions from more advanced brothers ?

Perl 5.004
Debian 2.1

update 6-28-2000 : btrott pointed out that substr in Perl 5.004 is different, and provided this code (that does work with 5.004)


    while ($txt = substr($hex, 0, 32)) {
        substr($hex, 0, 32) = "";
        print "'$txt'\n";
    }

Thanks also to swiftone, chromatic, and of course BBQ.

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
