Re: concatenate a non-printable character onto an ascii string and inspect the content

[choroba]

What do you think pack 'a*', '123456' does? Are you interested in ord?

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

my $string = '123456';
$string .= "\x1c";  # or chr 0x1c

printf '%02x ', ord $_, ' ' for split //, $string;
print "\n";

Your first download worked very nicely. Thank you.

So packing the ASCII string is wrong, It is stored as 0=0x30 etc. (see my own reply to my question). The trick was concatenating "\x1c"
