hex-editors

I am trying to use hexl mode to manually remove some special chars from a text file and don't see how to delete anything in hexl mode. What I really want is to remove carriage return and keep linefeed characters. Is Hexl mode the right way to do this? No need for hexl-mode for this. Just do a global-search-and-replace of ^J^M with ^J Works for me. :) Then save the file, kill the buffer, and revisit the file so the window shows the new file mode (Unix vs DOS). No need to find replace. Just use. M-x delete-trailing-whitespace You can also set the file encoding through C-x RET f unix Oops. That

On windows machine there are lots of third party editors available to edit a binary file. I belive there should be some thing similer buildin in the *nix systems as well. any idea how can i edit a binary file on unix? Shannon Nelson You can also try ghex2 GNOME utilities. This give you the automated hex-to-ASCII on the side, as well as the various character/integer decodes at the bottom.

See here for some remarks about

What's a good hex editor/viewer for the Mac? I've used xxd for viewing hexdumps, and I think it can be used in reverse to make edits. But what I really want is a real hex editor. I use Vim as a hex editor: Open the file in Vim. Run the command :% ! xxd Edit. Once done, run :% ! xxd -r Save. Open file with Xcode and press Command + Shift + J Right click file name in left pane Open as -> Hex One recommendation I've gotten is Hex Fiend . pi3 On http://www.synalysis.net/ you can get the hex editor I'm developing for the Mac - Synalyze It!. It costs 7 € / 40 € (Pro version) and offers some extra

In connection with this question , I downloaded a Hex Editor to see just what values my SDF file contained in a certain location, which is supposed to tell me what version of SQL Server CE the SDF file was created with. I got the following info: SQLCE Version 2.0: 0x73616261 3.0: 0x002dd714 3.5: 0x00357b9d 4.0: 0x003d0900 ...from this page . But I don't know what I'm looking at; I don't know if I'm looking in the wrong column or row, and I know that once I do know where I need to be looking, that data has to be converted to correspond with what is shown in the chart above. Can somebody tell me

As far as know in the end of all files, specially text files, there is a Hex code for EOF or NULL character. And when we want to write a program and read the contents of a text file, we send the read function until we receive that EOF hexcode. My question : I downloaded some tools to see a hex view of a text file. but I can't see any hex code for EOF (End Of File/NULL) or EOT (End Of Text) ASCII/Hex code tables : This is output of Hex viewer tools: Note : My input file is a text file that its content is "Where is hex code of "EOF"?" Appreciate your time and consideration. There is no such

I was wondering how windows interpret characters, for instance: I maked a file with an Hexeditor with the 3 bytes E3 81 81 . Those bytes are the "ぁ" character encoded as UTF-8. I open the notepad and it displays "ぁ" I don't specified the encoding of the file, i just created the bytes. and the notepad interpret it correctly. Is the notepad guessing what encoding probably is? or is the Hex editor saving those bytes with a specific encoding. If the file only contains these three bytes, then there is no information at all about which encoding to use. A byte is just a byte, and there is no way to

I need a good HEX editor for Linux, and by good I mean: Fast Search/replace features Can display data not only in hex, but also binary, octal, etc. Can work with huge (> 1 gb) files without becoming slow and unresponsive (this requirement is important) Optionally, has some compare/diff features What can you suggest? Gfy Bless is a high quality, full featured hex editor. It is written in mono/Gtk# and its primary platform is GNU/Linux. However it should be able to run without problems on every platform that mono and Gtk# run. Bless currently provides the following features: Efficient editing of
