Hi guys...
I haven't done any real Python code since I started messing with Shell Scripting in January 2012 when I started AudioScope.
Well I fished a little project out of my ANCIENT AMIGA files which created a raw hexdump of any binary file within reason for a stock A1200(HD).
Well although there was Python 1.4.0 to 2.0.1 for the classic AMIGA I could only use version 1.4.0 as this did not require an MMU or FP hardware for use.
Well the other day I decided to make it totally platform independent AND version independent and this is the result...
This task WAS difficult to do but the learning curve was worth the effort.
Boy oh boy have I forgotten a lot about Python...
# hexdump.py
#
# Original idea, (C)2006-2016, B.Walker, G0LCU.
# Issued as Creative Commons CC0 licence.
# Modified to suit _all_ versions of python.
#
# exec(open("Full path to hexdump.py").read())
# For all versions OR...
# execfile("Full path to hexdump.py")
# ...for versions 2.x.x and below.
# Works from Python 1.4.0 to 3.5.2 without modification.
#
# IMPORTANT! There is NO error checking in this code. It relies entirely
# on Python's own tracebacks for user and/or programming errors.
#
# Tested on:-
# 1) Classic AMIGA A1200(HD), with Python, 1.4.0 to 2.0.1.
# 2) Windows 8.1, with Python, 2.7.9 and 3.4.3.
# 3) OSX 10.7.5, OSX 10.11.6, with Python 2.5.x, 2.6.x, 2.7.x and 3.5.2.
# 4) Ubuntu 16.04, 64 bit, with Python 2.7.11 and 3.5.1.
#
# Obviously there are versions missed out as I no longer have them,
# but suffice it to say that this was written around an AMIGA 10 years ago
# so I decided to make it universal recently and issue as a fun project...
import sys
if sys.version[0]=="3": raw_input=input
filename=raw_input("Full path and filename, then press ENTER:- ")
binary=open(filename,"rb+")
length=len(binary.read())
array=""
for position in range(0,length,1):
binary.seek(position)
char=binary.read(1)
char=hex(ord(char))
char=char[2:]
if len(char)<=1: char="0"+char
# Remove the whitespace for a pure hex-string.
# array=array+char
array=array+char+" "
binary.close()
# Create a pseudo-array, whitespace delimited, this line can be ommitted.
# Bending the rules of print as a statement and as a function here. ;o)
print("%s" %(array))
# Save the text _hex_ dump as the original filename with the '.hex' etension.
# In this specification the HEX file length should be exactly 3 times the size
# of the original binary file length. It is deliberately whitespace delimited.
filename=filename+".hex"
hexadecimal=open(filename,"w")
hexadecimal.write(array)
hexadecimal.close()
