please tell me how to read a binary file

Answer 1

First of all, one doesn't convert a binary file into hex. Hexadecimal is merely a convenient way of viewing bits in groups of four, i.e., 0111 = 7; 1001 = 9; 1010 = A, 10101000 = A8, etc. I actually first learned to read binary data as Octal (at least that's what every programmer used to do).



Even if you could convert every 8 bit chunk into one of the ASCII characters, it would not necessarily make any sense because it's not readable text! It could have been machine instructions, video or audio samples... or even just random bits.

Answer 2

a text file is a acsii text file that contains 0 to 9 -Base 10

A binary file is a file that contains 1 and 0's - Base 2

An octal file is a file that contains 0 to 8 -Base 8

A hex file is a file that contains 00 - FF - Base 16 (HEX)

Answer 3

it is getting so that it won't say something without offending somebody, yet Grandma used to bake up a large, old dark fruitcake around Thanksgiving, wrap it up in cheesecloth soaked in rum, and go away it in a tin boc on a closet shelf 'until eventually Christmas. Deeeeelish!

Answer 4

take a group of 8 digits, each makes a number,

that number corresponds to a letter, or a computer characture that is an instruction.

I think A=41, B=42......

so on.

Answer 5

you need a binary to decimal convertor
