Suggested way to convert Binary to ASCII
« on: March 12, 2014, 07:13:09 AM »
Hi,
It seems that both base64 and uu*code are disabled in busybox.
May I know, what is the suggested/default way in TC to convert
binary to ASCII?

Thank you.

Hi Rahmat
Maybe  hexdump  from  util-linux.tcz ?

Hi Rahmat
Sorry, you ask for ASCII.
uuencode  is in  sharutils.tcz
base64  is in  coreutils.tcz

I'd always keep a statically linked busybox as provided by upstream around - which appears to be compiled with 'make defconfig' - to compensate for any applets missing in Core's busybox at any given moment.
