    Text to Binary file

    Input file is ASCII text file (*fr). Each double-seguential-text-characters are one Hexa-number:
    A0FF3046F0 etc..
    A0 = 0xA0, FF = 0xFF, etc.
    I need to write 0xA0 0xFF to new binary file (*fw). It is no problem with "fwrite".
    Problem for me is with reading of each 2 seguential characters from text file. I used loop with:
    for (j = 0; j < 2; j++)
    fread (&a, 1, 1, fr);
    fread (&b, 1, 1, fr);
    j = 0;

    First 2 characters are reading OK but all next characters are shifted with one text character Eg.:
    input file: AABBCCDDEE
    shifted output: AA BC DD etc.
    I tried also aply loop with "fseek (fr, 0, (SEEK_SET+i))" but without success.

    Could you please help me? I cannot find solution on this board.
    Thank you.

    If you have formatted input, try this:
    Code:
      if ((fp = fopen("junk.txt", "r")) != NULL)
      {
        while (fscanf(fp, "%2x", &i) == 1)
        {
          printf ("Number read as %d\n", i);
        }
      }
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
