Hello,

I'm working on a project and one of my task is to encode the file contents. I found a helpful article on encoding and decoding on internet http://stackoverflow.com/a/1081776/885507[Best Compression algorithm for a sequence of integers]. In given code ShowRaw function prints the hex string. I want this hex sting to a very small string.

You can get the sample hex string from http://pastebin.com/h4amRqYk[here].

Please give me some ideas to do this task.

Thanks
Kapil

Important to know here what "file contents" is: is it a sequence of integers ? integers of a certain Type; Int32, Int64 ... or Bytes ? And, why is it you want to use Hex ?

The code you linked to on SO is by Marc Gravell: I'd trust any code he wrote; he's a genius.

Hi, file contents is bytes of a file may be a small image. It is not a sequence of integers. I tried many algorithms like LRE, LZ4Codec, LZO.NET etc to compress the bytes but did not get expected results so, now I'm trying with Hex. Thanks

If you want help on a Stack Overflow answer, then I would suggest that you contact the author of the answer via Stack overflow: we are not in the habit of correcting their mistakes, if any.

This is a different site - would you expect AMD to provide technical support on Intel products?
