help writing binary(?) data to a file please

[mtnman82]

Hi everyone. I'm trying to write data to a file and having 2 problems. The data is integer data (0~255) and I've tried using the write & print commands and various conversions with no luck. I'm reading a byte of data at a time from a device, hence the 0~255. If I try writing this to a file I get the ascii characters written to the file, along with a CR & LF. For example, if I try to write '255' to the file and then look at it with a hex editor, I see five bytes written: "32 35 35 0D 0A". What I'd really like to see in the hex editor is "FF" and nothing else.


Can someone help me with the proper conversion or method to write the straight binary data, and also supress the CR & LF?

Thanks in advance!!! Oh, and Happy Easter!!!
