Python3 script with no dependencies that prints (colourfully :D) the ASCII table like asciitable.com, with quering features.
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.
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 [options]
Prints the standard ASCII table from (0-127).
Options:
-h/--help - Print this help
-q/--query [type] [value]
Used to query on rows and ranges from the ascii table.
type can be c/char for characters or n/number for numbers.
value is the value you are making the query for.
values can be comma separated or ranges seperated by a '-'
use x for hex, o for octal, and insert characters as is.
Examples:
asciitable.py -q c @ "querying for the character @"
asciitable.py -q c A-F,~ "querying for ranges A to F and ~"
asciitable.py -q n x15 "querying for hex 15"
asciitable.py -q n o7 "querying for oct 7"
asciitable.py -q n 17 "querying for 17"
asciitable.py -q n 20,x50-x54,o22 "querying for 20 decimal, ranges 50-54 hex, and octal 22"
-nc/--no-colour - Disable Colours
-p/--printable - Print printable ASCII characters only (0x20-0x7e)
-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 😃!
