Ascii/Hex convert in bash

Question

I\'m now doing it this way:

[root@~]# echo Aa|hexdump -v
0000000 6141 000a                              
0000003
[root@~]# echo -e \"\\x41\\x41\\x41\\x41\"
A         


        

Answer 1

I don't know how it crazy it looks but it does the job really well

ascii2hex(){ a="$@";s=0000000;printf "$a" | hexdump | grep "^$s"| sed s/' '//g| sed s/^$s//;}

Created this when I was trying to see my name in HEX ;) use how can you use it :)
