Solution 1

Use the %X format type in your printf statement: printf - C++ Reference[^]

Solution 2

You know, there is not an 'hexadecimal format' for a file. However, there could be a file containing the hexadecimal representation of binary (as well ASCII) data.
To obtain such a file replace (as already suggested by Richard)

Quote:
printf("%c", ch);

with

C

printf("%02X ", ch);

Have a 5 from me. I omitted the width specification in the (rather forlorn) hope that OP would actually study the documentation in detail.
