following Convert decimal to hexadecimal in UNIX shell script
I am trying to print only the hex values
from hexdump
, i.e. don't print the lines numbers and the ASCII table.
But the following command line doesn't print anything:
hexdump -n 50 -Cs 10 file.bin | awk '{for(i=NF-17; i>2; --i) print $i}'
Using xxd
is better for this job:
xxd -p -l 50 -seek 10 file.bin
From man xxd
:
xxd - make a hexdump or do the reverse.
-p | -ps | -postscript | -plain
output in postscript continuous hexdump style. Also known as plain hexdump style.
-l len | -len len
stop after writing <len> octets.
-seek offset
When used after -r: revert with <offset> added to file positions found in hexdump.
