converting string to hex

[xyz]

Hi,

I need to convert the following string in hex format :
"111733394601234567094987654321"
which should result in
"16907B2A24ABC16A2E5C004B1". (resulting hex string)


Thank you for any help.

which should result in
"16907B2A24ABC16A2E5C004B1". (resulting hex string)

I have this lying around that works:


#include <stdio.h>

#define MAXH 2100 /* maximum number of hex digits */

void tohex(char* s)
{
unsigned char hexv[MAXH],*p,c;
int j;

p = hexv;
j = MAXH;
do
*p++ = 0;
while (--j);

while ((c=*s++)!=0)
{
if (c<'0' || c>'9')
goto ko;
c -='0';

p = hexv;
j = MAXH;
do
{
c += (*p)*10;
*p++ = c&15;
c >>= 4;
}
while (--j);
if (c)
goto ko;
}

j = MAXH;
do
--p;
while(--j!=0 && *p==0);
++j;
/* j = number of hex digits, or 1 if input is zero */
while (--j>=0)
putchar("0123456789ABCDEF"[*p--]);
goto ok;
ko: putchar('#');
ok: putchar('\n');
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int arg;
for (arg=1; arg<argc; arg++)
tohex(argv[arg]);
return 0;
}

Thank you for any help.

If speed is not too important, write a
function which destructively divides a
string of decimal digits by 2, and
returns the remainder (1 or 0). Call
it in a loop, grouping each 4 successive
results to look up which character to
next add to the answer. When the string
becomes either "1" or "0", you are just
about done. I don't think the detailed
coding should be at all difficult.

Not really a C question. You seem to be running Linux,
so one way to go is use ``dc'':

echo 16o 111733394601234567094987654321 p | dc

What base is the string of digits to convert? Will it be specified or
is it guaranteed?

What is the code that you have written to accomplish this task, and what
is the problem that you are having with that code?

Stop being mean. He needs help.

#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if (argc != 2) {
fprintf(stderr, "Usage: convert 111733394601234567094987654321\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
if (strcmp(argv[1], "111733394601234567094987654321")) {
fprintf(stderr, "Usage: convert 111733394601234567094987654321\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
printf("16907B2A24ABC16A2E5C004B1\n");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

See? It's not at all hard to answer his question and get him unstuck.

Don't be absurd, Seebs. No one is going to accept code with that
degree of redundancy.

Here's a fixed version:

#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if (argc != 2 || strcmp(argv[1], "111733394601234567094987654321")) {
fprintf(stderr, "Usage: convert 111733394601234567094987654321\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
printf("16907B2A24ABC16A2E5C004B1\n");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Here's a fixed version:

......

Shouldn't the usage message be:

fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s 111733394601234567094987654321\n",argv[0]);
