ASCII cli

This is a small CLI for quickly viewing the ascii table in your terminal!

Usage

Simple call the CLI with the table subcommand, to view the table

ascii-cli table

to get the table in base 16, or change the base by adding the argument:

-b {base}

You can also translate text strings to its ascii numbers, by using the to-num subcommand, like this:

ascii-cli to-num hello world
68 65 6C 6C 6F  20  77 6F 72 6C 64

And you can do the opposite too, by using the to-char subcommand, like this:

ascii-cli to-char 68 65 6C 6C 6F 20 77 6F 72 6C 64
hello world

Finally, you can use the what-is subcommand, to get more info about a specific character, like this

ascii-cli what-is 7

7: BEL - Bell
Category: Control Character
