Need Help??

monkfan has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Most Revered Monks,
How can I convert the ASCII strings like this, for example:

_DATA__
ORQ>IK
FDC
[download]

into its decimal format like this:

79 82 81 62 73 75
70 68 67
[download]

Hence, the output for each strings is an array of decimal values. Each decimal values correspond to every character in ASCII string.

Is there a compact way to do it with Perl?

Regards,
Edward

`>perl -nwle"print join ' ', unpack 'C*', $_" ORQ>IK 79 82 81 62 73 75 FDC 70 68 67 ^Z` [download] Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
