asciitable
Small Python3 script with no dependencies that prints the ASCII table like asciitable.com.
Why?
I got bored of going to asciitable.com everytime I needed to look at a couple of ASCII characters.
I also had no idea that you can run man ascii
on GNU systems and get an ascii table.
How to Run
Run it with ./asciitable.py
or python3 asciitable.py
You can also give it specific ranges or characters to print like:
Check the options here:
asciitable.py - ASCII Table Printer
usage: asciitable.py [ranges] [options]
ranges can be comma separated numbers or ranges seperated by -
ranges must be right after asciitable.py.
Use x for hex, and o for octal.
Example: asciitable.py 2,x41,20-o45
-h/--help - Print this help
-nc/--no-colour - Disable Colours
-c/--colours [tablecolour] [textcolour]
Choose the colours for the table. (Default: blue green)
(magenta, blue, green, yellow, red, cyan, black, white)
You can also copy it to /usr/bin
like:
sudo cp asciitable.py /usr/bin/asciitable
Or you could make an alias for it using your preferred shell by adding this line to the rc file (.bashrc for example):
alias asciitable="/path/to/asciitable.py"
Go nuts with it, enjoy 😃!
