Text-to-Binary :P

**Le Froid** · 01-21-2008

This is a simple text-to-binary thing written in C++ that I thought I'd share since it is useless

10001011010011101110110000111100101111001100000101010011101001101111111100101101 0011100001110111001

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include <cstring>
#include <cstdlib>

char *entry, letter, choice[2];
int ascii, len, binary[8], total;
void prog();

int main()
{
      prog();     
      return 0;
}        
        
void prog()
{
   entry = new char[501]; 
   cout<<"Enter string to convert to binary stuff (up to 500 chars): ";
   cin.getline(entry, 500);
   len = strlen(entry); 
   for(int i = 0; i<len; i++)
   {
      total = 0;
      letter = entry[i];
      ascii = letter;    
      while(ascii>0) 
      {
         
         if((ascii&#37;2)==0)
         {
            binary[total] = 0;
            ascii = ascii/2;
            total++;
         }
         else
         {
            binary[total] = 1;
            ascii = ascii/2;
            total++;
         }
      }
      total--;
      while(total>=0)
      {
         cout<<binary[total];
         total--;
      }
   }
   delete[] entry;
   cout<<endl<<"Do it again?(1 = yes, 2= no)?: ";
   cin.getline(choice,3);
   if(choice[0] == '1')
      prog(); 
   else
      exit(0); 
}

Save as a ____.cpp file and then compile.

Credits-www.cplusplus.com made most of the code, i edited it around.
