[Bash] How to decode Octal code on Debian

[f1izzzy]

Hi everyone, Initially, thank you for responding.

I searched a lot but didn't find how to decode Octal code to text form in Debian with command line, I will appreciate a lot if someone respond and give some direction to do it. Thank you!

Have a look at packages ascii, ascii2binary, bindechexascii, and a few hex editors maybe. Also some python or tcl libraries, and maybe even a few calculators can do it.

In shell you can use for example

Code: Select all

printf "%d\n" 0213

to convert octal number 213 to decimal number 139. However, I would strongly suggest writing this in python so that your data stays private from other users of the system.

Hello,

What exactly do you mean by "decode"? Do you want to convert from octal notation to what other notation (decimal, binary, hexadecimal, ...) and in what format (numeric, character, other, ...) ? Can you give an example ?
