Description:
I have found your program just this morning through Google and will install it later.
I need to convert all the hexadecimal figures in plain readable code numbers and put before these numbers a carriage return character. The end of each record string is marked by a NULL character.
Is it possible? If yes, as I understand, how to do? Thanks in advance.
Input Sample:
/acetate$643$ /silk$75206$ ,/acetic$646$ /acid$741$ ./acetylene$685$ /burner$10282$ ?/acetylene$685$ /gas$30965$ @/acetylene$685$ /welding
Output Sample:
1304/acetate$643$ /silk$75206$
1324/acetic$646$ /acid$741$
1326/acetylene$685$ /burner$10282$
1343/acetylene$685$ /gas$30965$
1344/acetylene$685$ /welding$93651$
