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

echo append a carriage return at the end.

Use

echo -e

to remove the extra 0x0A

Also, hexdump does not work byte-per-byte as default. This is why it shows you bytes in a weird endianess and why it shows you an extra 0x00.
