Re: looking for good hex dump utility...


hi Tim,

od seems to do the job but if I want to just see numbers 0-9 and letters a-z
in the ascii output, how
do I tell od to do that?  by default od outputs 3 letter names for non
character ascii values like
del, nul, esc...

For what I'm doing I only need to see the ascii values for letters and
numbers and otherwise just
a period '.'  for everything else in the ascii output, but the hexoutput I'd
like to see for everything.

Is there a way to do this?  I could probably edit the source code and change
the ascii output
part to do this right?

so far I'm using od like this:

> od -txa -w16 -Ax  <file to dump>

/dAVe
