Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Unable to read data from a .dat file

[Marcus Müller]

You're confusing text files and binary files.

What you are referring to are text files. The text character "1" has the binary representation (if it's represented in ASCII) of 49, "0" is 48 and all the letters of the alphabet have other values.

"binary file" means that the content of the file is just the same as the samples were in RAM; that's something completely different from text.

Best regards,
Marcus

sir,

I entered some random binary data in a file (like 1001011010101) and and saved it in .dat format.

I created a flow graph and tried to read those data. I am unable to read it. 

Also, in some flow graph when I writes something to a text file using file sink, it is something in symbols (like @, #, $ &, A) not in numbers. Please help me on this.
