In reply to BrianHG:
Is there a way to binary dump/write that array_table into a file. And I do not mean an ascii file with binary or hex values written as text in it. I mean a true data .bin file.
fout_pointer= $fopen("test_file.bin","wb");
LRM section 21.3.1 Opening and closing files
w" or “wb” Truncate to zero length or create for writing
“The “b” in the preceding types exists to distinguish binary files from text files. Many systems make no
distinction between binary and text files, and on these systems the “b” is ignored. However, some systems
perform data mappings on certain binary values written to and read from files that are opened for text access.”*
You may need to check the endianess required and change your logic accordingly
