Could you point me to sites where i can have a look at file handling functions. basically i want to read binary file and convert them into text files.
 
do you mean like in a hex editor

tomcruz.net
 
butthead - not like a hex editor bcos that doesnt convert binary to text. i want to convert binar files into human readable format (text)

sedj - thanks for the link.


is there a function to convert binary to text (ascii) in C?
 
as I understand it the only diff between binary and
text is that text is a subset of the ascii table and you
can read it. hex 07 "bell" is not readable and has no
visual representation, consequently you cannot render this character into a redable format except by substituing
a cute little bell symbol.
