this is my script:

cat file | awk '{
for( n=2; n<=17; n++ )
{
data_str = sprintf("0x%s ", $n)
data = strtonum(data_str)
}
}'

My problem is how to output the var <data> to file, if i use
print or printf it will converted to string ,but i want the number not string.

Have you tried this ?
printf "%c",data

Hope This Helps, PH.
