The code must be able to open a file, and print the address, hex value, and ASCII char side-by-side like below:



Anyone want to try?

My shortest code is in FASM, but you can try in other programming language.

You can use third-party library or system library.

Where's the fun in in using a library function that does all the heavy lifting for you? 🤣

Because in this age where coding means "plumbing 500 library calls together" instead of making your own algorithms... haha

Seriously, I have a hexdump program done in proper coding without using library function, just borrow Int2Hex from others.
It is all here, but the code is much longer: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5093005

My solution in post #1 of this thread is only 6 lines:


But it is longer if to support command-line argument parsing.
