Converting ASCII as Binary... Transposed?

Hello friends!
I am building a VI to break apart a string of characters and convert each to binary code. Please see the attached example. When verifying the input string against the output boolean array, I notice that each 8bit code is transposed from left to right when compared against any standard ASCII to Binary table. Am I understand that binary is usually read from right to left? My concern is how other systems will translate this code after it is transferred. The main question is this: Do I leave it be, or transpose it before data transfer?
Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Zach

Remember you are looking at an array. Index 0 of an array (which corresponds to bit 0 of the number) will be to the left. As long as you are just doing standard computer functions and bit manipulations, don't worry about it.
If you are doing something where you want to graphically show on the front panel to a user what the bits look like and have the 0th bit on the right, then you will need to manipulate the array so that the 0th bit will be in index 7 and the 7th bit will be in index 0, and so on.

Converting ASCII to Binary

Hello I need some help.
I need to convert the ASCII data to Binary form. Like if i have the character 'A' and its ASCII is 65 then its binary would be 01000001.
If there is any function/method available in java to convert ascii to binary, i would be really thanful.

Sending text (ASCII) as binary code. Beginner.

Hello there LV-gurus.
My mission is basically being able to send information one bit at a time and since I have no background knowledge it is a tedious process figuring out how to do so. I'm not asking for complete solutions considering I want to actually learn it, but I am hoping I could get some pointers on what I should read up on or how to make this happen.
At my disposal I have a DAQmx, from which I hope to send binary information (or a digital wave) regulating a component that will basically just pass this information on to another (actually the same for now) DAQmx where I want to decode it back.
What I'm trying to do, but failing to understand how, is more or less this;
Convert ASCII to binary/digital wave. Here I've tried using the string to byte array but I'm having trouble to finding a way to use the values I get in the byte array.
How to incorporate a "start/stop listening" signal before/after sending the information.
I'm certain there is whole bunch of functions/procedures/whatnots I'm completely missing, so any help or friendly nudges in the right direction is much appriciated. My feeble attempts to scan through the plethora of instructions, help texts and posts relating to this matter has left me stumped.

So is this going to be continuos transmission of a stream of bits that emulate a maintained connection or bursts of data transmission followed by long periods of zeros? Square wave is not really going to be helpful for transmitting data considering the effort required to start/restart/stop the square wave would cause significant slow down, especially if you want to transmit real data and not just varying frequency square waves.
You should simply be able to start off converting your data into a digital waveform then passing that data through a DAQmx Write command (Digital Wfm>1 Chan>1 Samp).
Assuming you want to be able to read this information as well you can simply read the data using a DAQmx Read command configured similarly to compare the output and inputs.
For most of your data configuration set up you will want to have a look around the Waveform -> Digital Wfm
The conversion menu should hold some VIs of interest regarding generating the waveform data.
For the data transmission I would say looking at the "Digital - SW - Timed Output.vi" in the example finder would help a lot.
(Example finder is found under Help -> Find Examples)

Converting ascii to iCal?

Is it possible to convert ascii data in binary?

Hi all.
In my one table there is a column which contains ascii value. i want to convert it in binary. It it possible in oracle?
eg field value:1250ÿ it should be 125011111111
kindly tell how to do this.
i have tried this using a simple java program but doesnot work for some ascii values.
thank you

I created two functions :
create or replace FUNCTION dec2bin (N IN NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
binval VARCHAR2(64);
N2 NUMBER := N;
BEGIN
WHILE ( N2 > 0 ) LOOP
binval := MOD(N2, 2) || binval;
N2 := TRUNC( N2 / 2 );
END LOOP;
RETURN binval;
END dec2bin;
And other :
create or replace function to_ascii( inSource IN VARCHAR2 )
return varchar2 AS
ResultString varchar2(381); -- 3 * possible length of source
TempNumber number;
begin
for i in 1..length( inSource ) loop
TempNumber := dec2bin ( ascii( substr( inSource,i,1 ) ) );
ResultString := ResultString || trim( to_char(TempNumber,'00000009'));
end loop;
return ResultString;
end;
Now, in sqlplus : (just to show the binary string)
column mybin for 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999
SQL> select to_ascii('g') mybin from dual;
MYBIN
01100111
SQL> select to_ascii('girish') mybin from dual;
MYBIN
011001110110100101110010011010010111001101101000

Converting float to binary

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to convert a float value (as ascii) to a binary value?
I need a program that will take in a number of floating values from a file, convert the values to binary and then write out these values in another file, 4 bytes at a time.
I know that you can convert decimals to binary with an easy function but i've searched for float to binary and came up with nothing.
any help would be really appreciated,
cheers!

One of the Java's problems is that you can easily get lost in the sea of Javadocs...
java.io.DataOutputStream
writeFloat(float v)
Converts the float argument to an int using the floatToIntBits method in class Float, and then writes that int value to the underlying output stream as a 4-byte quantity, high byte first.
java.io.DataInputStream
readFloat
public float readFloat()
throws IOException
Reads four input bytes and returns a float value. It does this by first constructing an int value in exactly the manner of the readInt method, then converting this int value to a float in exactly the manner of the method Float.intBitsToFloat. This method is suitable for reading bytes written by the writeFloat method of interface DataOutput.

To store ASCII into Binary

I just want to store a large set of numbers.when i did it..the file is too big to open.is about 100 MB.
its in ASCII ,now i have to convert it into binary files..can anyone help me.

Well, if it is now too large to open you cannot convert the existing ASCII file , instead you should modify your application to write a new one in binary. Presumably, later you also need to have a way to read the binary file back into another LabVIEW application.
Open the example finder in LabVIEW 6.1 and look at the following two examples:
Write Binary File.vi
Read Binary File.vi
They are both in section "Fundamentals ... File Input and Output". Let us know of you get stuck .

ASCII to binary conversion

Does anyone knows how to convert the ASCII value to binary? For example
ASCII 'U' to 01010101?

Hi,
If I understood you correctly, you want to convert a character eg:'U' to
its ASCII value which is 85 (in binary representation 01010101).
With the following method you can convert the first character of a string to
a one byte long unsigned integer.
method BaseClass.CharToInt(input pStr: Framework.string): Framework.ui1
begin
return *(pointer to ui1)(*(pointer to pointer)(&pStr));
end method;
See also the attached .pex file for some more, usefull little methods...

Converting characters to binary

Could anyone give me an idea how to convert characters to binary, and vice verse?
It's like those hex and binary editors out there.

See if this helps you out
char c = 'a';
String binaryString = Integer.toBinaryString(c);
char translatedChar =
(char)Integer.parseInt(binaryString, 2);
System.out.println(binaryString);
System.out.println(translatedChar);
Thanks. It worked.

How to convert image to binary format

Hi all,
We have developed an Employee search mobile web application in .net which is hosted on an exposed IP server, we need to show the employee data along with the image of the employee on mobile.
When we run this application through our desktop we are able to see the image of the employee since we are doing this through intranet , but when we try to access the same from any mobile device we are able to see only the data but no image, since we are doing this through internet(exposed server).
Please suggest some way to get this image,
is there any function module in ABAP which can convert image to binary format
so that we export binary data to .net application

How to convert XML to Binary in OSB Message flow

Dear All,
Can you please help me in converting XML to Binary in OSB Message flow.
Please help.
Thanks,

ah ok, then you have to apply a transformation from XML to some fixed length format, EDI style
probably you have 2 options: the traditional MFL
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13159_01/osb/docs10gr3/consolehelp/mfls.html
or the (probably) more supported nXSD with a JCA adapter
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/integration.1111/e10231/nfb.htm
I will let you digest this info and then we can continue.
There are a number of threads in this forum on whether one technology is better than the other (as usual, google can assist you)

Convert ASCII File into HTML

Hi All,
I have a requirement to convert ASCII files (formatted files when opened through Textpad / Editplus) into HTML when its hyperlink is clicked from my application.
The present code is that, the TXT file was streamed, html tags have been added and the entire file was re-written as HTML (based on char 12 / 32, as the case may be) and saved as JSP / HTML extension, and placed in a temp folder.
response.sendRedirect() was used to open this file, which threw OutofMemoryException errors.
It was also revealed that, if the original ASCII file was 40KB, the converted JSP file would be 160KB (around 4 times)
The ideal conversion should be - add html tags in the new file and maintain the same formatting as the original ASCII file, & save the file with new extension.
Thus I need a memory efficient method such that these files are converted on the fly by the application, yet the size kept minimum.
Please suggest. Thanks in advance
Regards
Hari N

160k is trival on a modern desktop OS. Especially since it is temporary. What heap size is the server using?

HELP! Converting ascii to its decimal codes

Does anyone know how to convert ascii code to its decimal equivalent? Is there a simple function that can do this?
Thanks for any help!!

Yes there is.
String whatever = "whatever"
char[] chars = whatever.toCharArray();
for(int i=0; i<chars.length; i++) {
System.out.println( (int) chars[i] );
And since its friday I wont flame you for not reading
a simple tutorial, though its hard not to
ehmm, the square brackets around the chars[i] are replaced by
non-squares, or not visible, but they ARE square brackets
