I want to create a binary.bin file from a binary.txt file.
The .txt file only contains ones and zeroes. I found a way of converting hexadecimal into .bin using the xxd linux function but can not find a method for converting .txt zeroes and ones to hexadecimal that can be applied with the xxd tool to make a .bin file.
I tried to make a script for converting the binary.txt to a hexademical.txt which could then be used with xxd in linux, but this seems to be not working... The problem is that the python script outputs some other hexadecimal than the xxd hexdump function in linux.
In short... I tried this using xxd with a .bin file:
.bin > hex > .bin (works)
I cannot make .bin file from:
hex (python) > .bin (does not work)
# converts binary.txt > hex .txt
# for example: 01000110 outputs 0xf42ae
data1 = open('13bitSystem_1row.txt', 'r')
data2 = open("hex_" + data1.name, 'w')
# () specifies number of decimal characters used, remove number to run whole file
file = data1.read()
decimal_representation = int(file)
hexadecimal_string = hex(decimal_representation)
data2.write(hexadecimal_string)
data1.close()
data2.close()
For example: The binary sequence .txt 01000110 outputs 4F in xxd but 0xf42ae in python
