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.

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 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.

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)

In the niHSDIO pallette there is a "convert binary to WDT" but there isn't a "convert WDT to binary". Has anyone done this? Trying to save some time.

Hi!
I am working on finding an answer/explanation for having one vs. the other. In the meantime, I found a function under Programming>>Waveform>>Digital Waveform>>Digital Conversion called Digital to Binary which converts a digital waveform or set of digital data to a binary array of unsigned integers.

Pb converting plist to binary format

Hi,
I have an XML plist generated by a perl program that I would like to convert to binary plist in a shell script. So I'm using the dedicated "plutil" program from the command line.
Alas it won't convert the plist to binary, leaving it in XML format wether I try :
plutil - convert binary1 fuel.plistorplutil -convert binary1 -o fuel2.plist fuel.plist
So I try this :plutil -convert binary1 -o - fuel.plistto send the result to the STDOUT.
Bingo, the output is definitely a binary plist as it starts with the "bplist" signature and is followed by lots of non human-readable characters.
But ... when I tried this :plutil -convert binary1 -o - fuel.plist > fuel2.plistIstill get that XML file !!
I tried with different filenames like fuel.db for the output in case plutil would reserve the .plist extension to XML format. I also validated the input file with plutil.
This is driving me crazy ... There must be something, but what ?
Any help appreciated
Regards
Phil

Rather than 'cat' I would definitely suggest 'hexdump' as 'cat'ing a binay file to a terminal might lead to somewhat weird results. Try one of these:
%> hexdump -C fuel2.plist
%> hexdump -C fuel2.plist | less
%> hexdump -C fuel2.plist | head
Another possibility would be to test the type of the file using the 'file' utility:
%> file fuel.plist
fuel.plist: XML document text
%> file fuel2.plist
fuel2.plist: Apple binary property list
I think that's rather clear

How do you convert hexadecimal to binary?

Hello,
I am working on a project where I need to convert a hexadecimal packet to binary. It is looking like I would use the BinaryEncode function, but I wasn't really sure if that was the right way to go about it or not.
For instance, I need to convert '01DD6300000C0E1012' to '000000011101110101100011000000000000000000001100000011100001000000010010'.
I had thought it would be straight forward such.
<cfset myHex = "01DD6300000C0E1012">
<cfset myBinary = BinaryDecode(myHex, "hex")>
<cfoutput>
    <h2>
        myHex = #myHex#<br />
        myBinary = #myBinary#
    </h2>
</cfoutput>
However, I end up getting the following error.
ByteArray objects cannot be converted to strings.
The error occurred in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\playground\hexIT.cfm: line 17
15 :     <h2>
16 :         myHex = #myHex#<br />
17 :         myBinary = #myBinary#
18 :     </h2>
19 : </cfoutput>
I was expecting that the result was going to be a string of data and not a ByteArray.
Is there a better way to go about this?
Best regards
KR

Hello,
The starting hexadecimal packet is '01DD6300000C0E1012'. The part that I contains the data I need is in the first batch of characters. The instructions I was given was that the first 6 characters (less the first character) contained the part that I want.
So, my code is now
<cfset myBaseHex = "01DD6300000C0E1012">
<cfset myHex = mid("01DD6300000C0E1012",2,5)>
<cfset myHexInBase10 = inputBaseN(myHex,16)>
<cfset myHexInBase2    = formatBaseN(myHexInBase10,2)>
<cfoutput>
    <h2>
    myHex = #myHex#<br />
    myBinary = #myHexInBase2#
    </h2>
</cfoutput>
The next step was to convert the binary part to 8-bit decimal. The person that gave me the data, said that this particular one should resolve to 186.
Best regards,
KR
01001001 00100000 01101000 01100001 01110100 01100101 00100000 01100010 01101001 01101110 01100001 01110010 01111001 0100001   sums up my feelings on binary. I'm glad that at least one person found some humor in my binary :-)

How to convert characters in output

Hello
I try to write output that automatically converts special characters in simpler versions. Like � to n, � to e, etc.
I use the structure:
FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream("output.txt");
OutputStreamWriter ow = new OutputStreamWriter(fo,"character-encoding");
ow.write(String,0, String-length);
But, I do not find a character set that converts the characters in what I want. Instead, all unknown characters come out as ?
I tried it with ISO8859-1, ISO-8859-15, US-ASCII, ASCII, Cp1252, Cp500 ...
Is it possible at all what I try or is any unknown character always converted in a question mark?
Regards, Jan

Is it possible at all what I try
Only if you replace the characters yourself. There is no relation between the characters ñ and n, or é and e, apart from the typography. No general way to "remove" the accent/diacretical mark/umlaut/whatever exists.
or is any unknown character always
converted in a question mark?That seems to be the case with character encodings in Java.
