Package: ascii
Version: 3.0-2
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
When I'm looking up the ASCII character corresponding to a character
code, I usually know what base I'm talking about, and I'd like to look
it up directly.
'ascii 22' returns records for decimal 22, octal 22, and hexadecimal 22,
and I have to look through those to find the one I knew I wanted in the
first place. This is almost never the behaviour I want. 'ascii \\22' and
'ascii \\x22' work for octal and hexadecimal, but they're less than
intuitive due partly to the necessity to escape backslashes for the
shell, and there's no way I can see to get it to display only decimal
output.
The obvious answer would be for 'ascii -d 22' to print only the ASCII
record corresponding to decimal 22, and for -o and -x to behave
similarly for octal and hexadecimal. Currently -d, -o, and -x ignore any
subsequent arguments, but they could easily be extended in this way.
Thanks,
