Hi There

I wish to make a program which converts plain text to ASCII or binary, but don't know where to start.

If anyone knows of any examples or tutorials that would help, it would greatly appreciated.

Hello, I have a text report from a mainframe that I need to parse. The report has about a 2580 byte header that contains binary information (garbage for the most part); although there are a couple areas that have ASCII text that I need to extract. At the end of the 2580 bytes, I can read the report like a standard text file. It should have...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
