█ ENCODE YOUR TEXT - CONVERT TEXT (ASCII) TO BINARY CODE AND VISA VERSA: ▐▌
█ `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ▐▌
█ Transform any text to binary code, like this: ▐▌
█ 01101101011001010111011101100010011010010110010101110011 ▐▌
█ Go HERE and paste the string above of 0 and 1s into their 'Binary' box ▐▌
█ and push the button 'CONVERT'. ▐▌
█ We'll make the same word a tad tougher to decode, try this: ▐▌
█ 011001110101001101001011001000110111011101010011010110110 ▐▌
█ We'll cover that below. ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ A silly way to use this is to send encoded messages, not that it is safe ▐▌
█ by any means but not everyone is going to know how to convert it back or ▐▌
█ even think to. There are plenty of on-line converters to do this, but ▐▌
█ nothing beats getting the job done in the privacy of our own box. I found ▐▌
█ a sweet perl script to do just this effortlessly thanks to Ivo at ▐▌
█ coolcommands.com here. ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ To use it: ▐▌
█ You'll need to have perl installed: ▐▌
█ perl -v ▐▌
█ If reply is version etc, you are good. ▐▌
█ If reply is "-bash: perl command not found" you need to install it: ▐▌
█ su ▐▌
█ aptitude update && aptitude install perl ▐▌
█ exit ▐▌
█ Then you need to know the location of your perl: ▐▌
█ which perl ▐▌
█ My reply: /usr/bin/perl ▐▌
█ If your reply is different you'll have to edit only the top line of the ▐▌
█ conv.pl to properly state the location of perl on your box: ▐▌
█ wget http://mewbies.com/geek_fun_files/convert_binary_text/conv.tar.gz ▐▌
█ tar xvzf conv.tar.gz ▐▌
█ chmod 0755 conv.pl ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ Test it, convert from binary to text: ▐▌
█ ./conv.pl -t 01101101011001010111011101100010011010010110010101110011 ▐▌
█ Convert from text to binary: ▐▌
█ ./conv.pl -b "mewbies" ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ You can also feed it a file using the -f switch: ▐▌
█ ./conv.pl -t -f binfile ▐▌
█ ./conv.pl -b -f myfile ▐▌
█ Output the result to another file instead of your terminal for example: ▐▌
█ ./conv.pl -t -f binfile > textoutput.txt ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ To print out the help: ▐▌
█ ./conv.pl -h ▐▌
█ Can't leave the cow out: ▐▌
█ ./conv.pl -h | cowsay -W 65 ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ Combine it with reverse to make it even tougher to decode: ▐▌
█ ./conv.pl -b "mewbies" | rev > output1.txt ▐▌
█ Now converting it back to text will not work. ▐▌
█ Try it: ▐▌
█ ./conv.pl -t -f output1.txt ▐▌
█ Reply is a few unreadable characters. ▐▌
█ The binary code must first be reversed back then converted to text. ▐▌
█ rev < output1.txt > output2.txt | ./conv.pl -t -f output2.txt ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ Note: To make it more believable put 0 or 00 in front of a reversed binary ▐▌
█ string if it begins with a 1. Of course the receiver must know to remove ▐▌
█ the 0/s. For example mewbies to binary code, reversed would be: ▐▌
█ 11001110101001101001011001000110111011101010011010110110 ▐▌
█ Pass your encoded msg as: ▐▌
█ 011001110101001101001011001000110111011101010011010110110 ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ Finished, can clean up: rm output1.txt output2.txt ▐▌

█ SYSTEM WIDE USAGE: ▐▌
█ If you want all users to be able to access it: ▐▌
█ 1. Edit the shebang line and save changes: ▐▌
█ pico conv.pl ▐▌
█ Has this: ▐▌
█ #!/usr/bin/perl -W ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ Change to: ▐▌
█ #!/usr/bin/env perl ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ Optional: I would rename it something unique without the extension, for ▐▌
█ example: ▐▌
█ cp conv.pl txt2binary ▐▌
█ 2. su ▐▌
█ cp txt2binary /usr/local/bin/txt2binary ▐▌
█ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/txt2binary ▐▌

█ HANDY TEXT FILE COMMANDS: ▐▌
█ ````````````````````````` ▐▌
█ While we are on manipulating text I thought I would mention a few handy ▐▌
█ commands that I use on text based files with working examples. There are ▐▌
█ plenty more and many of these are on Mac as well. ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ FMT: ▐▌
█ fmt - "simple optimal text formatter" ▐▌
█ For many options: man fmt & info coreutils 'fmt invocation' ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ SORT: ▐▌
█ sort - "sort lines of text files". ▐▌
█ Standard without any switches will sort each line alphabetically: ▐▌
█ sort < myfile.txt ▐▌
█ For many more options: man sort & info coreutils 'sort invocation' ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ TR: ▐▌
█ tr - translate or delete characters ▐▌
█ For example change upper case to lower case: ▐▌
█ tr '[[:upper:]]' '[[:lower:]]' ▐▌
█ Now type in anything with uppercase into terminal. Ctrl+C to stop. ▐▌
█ And to change lower case to upper case: ▐▌
█ tr '[[:lower:]]' '[[:upper:]]' ▐▌
█ Or you could: ▐▌
█ echo "MewBieS" | tr "[a-z]" "[A-Z]" ▐▌
█ echo "MewBieS" | tr "[A-Z]" "[a-z]" ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ Replace characters: ▐▌
█ For example enter into terminal: ▐▌
█ tr '<>' '[]' ▐▌
█ Then type in: ▐▌
█ <mewbies> ▐▌
█ Reply: [mewbies] ▐▌
█ Replace space with tab: ▐▌
█ echo "I dont want white-spaces" | tr [:space:] '\t' ▐▌
█ Reply: I dont want white-spaces ▐▌
█ Replace all two or more successive blank spaces: ▐▌
█ echo "No more than one white space" | tr -s [:space:] ' ' ▐▌
█ Reply: No more than one white space ▐▌
█ Remove all characters leaving digits only: ▐▌
█ echo "mewbies 12345 678 9" | tr -cd [:digit:] ▐▌
█ Reply: 123456789 ▐▌
█ Remove only a selected character, for example 'x': ▐▌
█ echo "mexwbies" | tr -d 'x' ▐▌
█ Reply: mewbies ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ Example inputting a file: ▐▌
█ tr '[[:lower:]]' '[[:upper:]]' < myfile.txt ▐▌
█ Remove a string from a file, for example remove ever instance of 'hate': ▐▌
█ tr -d 'hate' < myfile.txt > mycleanedfile.txt ▐▌
█ Remove all two or more successive blank spaces: ▐▌
█ tr -s ' ' ' ' < myfile.txt > mycleanedfile.txt ▐▌
█ Remove non-printable characters from a file: ▐▌
█ tr -cd "[:print:]" < myfile.txt ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ Oops this is becoming too long ;): ▐▌
█ For many more options: man tr & info coreutils 'tr invocation' ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ UNIQ: ▐▌
█ uniq - "remove duplicate lines from a sorted file" ▐▌
█ Lets try, create a file with some duplicate lines. ▐▌
█ uniq myfile.txt ▐▌
█ Results will output to screen without any duplicate lines (your file will ▐▌
█ remain unchanged). ▐▌
█ Output will be to a new file: ▐▌
█ uniq myfile.txt > myfilecleaned.txt ▐▌
█ For many more options: man uniq & info coreutils 'uniq invocation' ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ WC: ▐▌
█ wc - "counts the number of bytes, characters, whitespace-separated words, ▐▌
█ and newlines in each given FILE, or standard input if none are given or ▐▌
█ for a FILE of `-'" ▐▌
█ The standard reply using wc only is; ▐▌
█ | lines | words | bytes ▐▌
█ For example, using wc on a text based file: ▐▌
█ wc conv.pl ▐▌
█ Reply: ▐▌
█ 95 281 1920 conv2.pl ▐▌
█ That means there are 95 lines, 281 words and the file size is 1920 bytes. ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ Lets view the wc for wc's help file: ▐▌
█ man wc | wc ▐▌
█ 66 251 2206 ▐▌
█ For many more options: man wc & info coreutils 'wc invocation' ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ Also view my AMUSEMENTS & GAMES under Emacs for other text manipulation. ▐▌
