Lot of times, you would like to get the complete string in hex or ascii format and if you are one of them then this is something that will be helpful for you 🙂

Example output:

lp-amita[d=~/bin]> ./ascii aamit
String – aamit, Length – 5

String : aamit
Hex    : 0x61616d6974
Dec    :   9797109105116

And the source code:

void main (int argc, char **argv){
    int i=0;
    char a[200]="",b[200]="";
    printf("String - %s, Length - %dn",argv[1],strlen(argv[1]));

    while (i < strlen(argv[1])){
        sprintf(a,"%s%x",a,argv[1][i]);
        sprintf(b,"%s%d",b,argv[1][i]);
        i++;
    }
    printf ("n");
    printf ("String : %sn",argv[1]);
    printf ("Hex    : 0x%sn", a);
    printf ("Dec    : %sn", b);
