Title: Dealing with binary data...
Post by: statik on January 31, 2006, 05:33:39 PM
I can do the following in perl:


Code Select

$ perl -e 'print "xcan"'
Ê
$


And as you can see the xca result is the Ê character. If I wanted to duplicate this very thing in newlisp, how would I do it?

Try this:


Code Select

~> perl -e 'print "xcan"'
?
~> newlisp -e '(println (char 0xCA))'
?
"202"
~> newlisp -e '(println "202")'
?
"202"


This would be the equivalent to the Perl code, what you see is largely dependent how you platform/terminal is configured. The above I did on a MacOS X PowerBook. I guess you did your example on MS-Windows with code page 859 with displayable characters in upper-ASCII.

Nah, I actually did this on OBSD. But regardless, your solution was perfect. Thanks :)
