NimbostratusConvert Binary to ASCII
Hello DevCentral Community ,
How i can convert an HTTP payload from the binary format to the ascii format in order to search certain string values in it ?
Is this correct ?
set test [HTTP::payload] binary scan $test H* hex set ascii [binary format A* $hex]
Thanks in advance,
M.

The issue is also about the encoding that the http payload is in. UTF-8 is not ASCII, so you would need to ensure that the binary you would like to convert is in fact ascii.
That being said I would reference the tcl wiki page for binary, they have several examples. http://wiki.tcl.tk/1181

I was looking into this more and I think you might want to try is the scan command. It should do the conversion and search function for you, just specify the input format etc..
