Re: How to write a text line as binary/Hex with a filename by means of Vim command line(s)?

[...]

function! WriteChars(outfile, text)
  let chars = ''

  for i in range(0, len(a:text)-1, 2)

    let chars .= nr2char('0x'.a:text[i : i+1])
  endfor
  call writefile([chars], a:outfile, 'b')
endfunction
command! WriteChars call WriteChars('data.bin', getline('.'))

Good one. that's what i need. Thank you so much!

Put above in file writechars.vim.
In Vim, enter:
    :so writechars.vim

Put cursor on wanted line and enter (type :Wr and press Tab):
    :WriteChars

File data.bin now contains the four characters.
