map {printf"%3d %2x %2s|",$_,$_,$_<32?'^'.chr$_+64:$_<127?chr$_:'^?'}
+(0..127);
Cool (and useful) one-liner, replacing man ascii!
I added it to my ~/.bash/functions, with a few changes replace the quote chracters so it would be acceptable to bash. Also, added a newline for every 8 characters.
function ascii
{
perl -e '
map {
printf q{%3d %2X %2s|%s}, $_, $_,
$_<32 ? q{^}.chr($_+64) : $_<127 ? chr : q{^?},
($_+1)%8 ? q{} : $/
} 0..127
'
}
/prakash
PS: I tried making it a bash alias, but it was too much trouble working around all those quotes to prevent bash interpolating $_ etc!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
