A handy tip if you want to translate BLOB values like "e0e1e2e3e4e5e6e7e8e9eaebecedeeef" to a readable string when you are analyzing logs or so.
- Open UltraEdit and create a file with just one space
- Optional: Switch to EBCDIC with "File" - "Conversions" - "ASCII to EBCDIC"
- Execute Ctrl-H, Ctrl-A, Ctrl-R
- ASCII: Replace '20' with the BLOB string.
- EBCDIC: Replace '40' with the BLOB string.
- Go with Ctrl-H back to normal mode. |

I find this little snippet of Perl to be quite handy.
| Code: |
while (<>) {
print pack("H*",$_);
} |

Hi all,
I created a small utility program for this problem quite recently.
It's called Hexdump2Text. It doesn't just convert a BLOB to EBCDIC or ASCII. It also takes an user selected encoding into account.
See also: http://www.gjdenbesten.nl/Hexdump2Text.html
The first version (1.0.0) was released under the GPL v3 at January 31th, 2010. Version 1.0.1 was released yesterday.
