Writing 2D array data into binary format

[anny321dum]

I developed a vi to write a 2D arrray file into binary format. But the output file is something else which is not readable. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Nothing is done incorrectly - but you don't seem to understand what write to binary file does. It writes more or less the internal memory RAM representation of your data to disk.

EDIT: Perhaps you can tell us what you expected the file to look like...

Binary is only machine readable. Just write a program read it again using the appropriate tools and you get all your data back. 😄

And don't use a *.txt extension, because it is not a text file!
