Seeking a simple program ~ text to binary converter

Hi all

Wonder if anyone can help me out here.

I’m looking for a simple program that would covert a string of 48 x 0’s and 1’s in text format and write them to a simple 6 byte binary file.

It would need to run on windows XP in the background (dos mode?).

The input string and saving file name would need to be input via switches, ideally something like:

Program.exe /B 000000100000000000000000000000000000010000001001 /F C:\Myfile.bin

I’ve searched the net for hours but not come up with anything...anyone one know of anything like that?

Thanks

Phil

Hi, Hawksey

What your want is Windows Console Application other than Windows Forms Application, you can retrieve the arguments in the main() method, and convert the text into a binary fileby using the BinaryWriter class, something like this

Code Snippet

Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

string op1 = args[0];

string text = args[1];

string op2 = args[2];

string path = args[3];

switch (op1.ToLower())

{

case "/b":

using (BinaryWriter binWriter =

new BinaryWriter(File.Open(path, FileMode.Create)))

{

binWriter.Write(text);

}

break;

// other cases

}
