strtools -h

Output:

Usage: strtools <type|conversion> <input> [ data | file ] -o outfile.txt

|CLI options|:-
   type/conversion:
      -O  converts octal dump to string.
      -B  converts binary dump to string.
      -D  converts decimal dump to string.
      -X  converts hexadecimal dump to string.
    [if -s flag is specified, it converts string to base<int>.]

   input:
      -i  takes next argument as data string.
      -f  takes next argument as filename.

   optional:
      -o  takes next argument as filename.
           (if filename is null, it's set to strtools_out as filename.)
           [if '-o' is not used, result is printed to STDOUT.]

Hexadecimal to String

./strtools -X -i "53 74 61 72 20 74 68 69 73 20 70 72 6f 6a 65 63 74 20 3a 29"

Output:

Star this project :)

./strtools -s -X -f exfiles/AITO

Output:

41 73 74 72 6F 6E 61 75 74 20 49 6E 20 54 68 65 20 4F 63 65 61 6E 2E

Decimal to String

./strtools -D -i "72 97 118 101 32 97 32 110 105 99 101 32 100 97 121 32 40 59"

Output:

Have a nice day (;

String to Decimal

./strtools -s -D -f exfiles/AITO

Output:

65 115 116 114 111 110 97 117 116 32 73 110 32 84 104 101 32 79 99 101 97 110 46 

Redirecting output to a file:

Using the redirection operator↴

./strtools -X -i "63 6f 6f 6c 20 73 68 69 74" > hex_out.txt

Using the -o argument with a filename↴

./strtools -O -i "143 157 156 164 162 151 142 165 164 145 40 72 51" -o oct_out

Using the -o argument without a filename↴

./strtools -D -i "105 100 107 32 105 100 99 46" -o

ps: "-o" without a parameter uses the default filename 'strtools_out'
