Hex Edit Wordprocessor
3 messages in this thread
Looking for a PD hex editor that lets you insert and delete data from files
that are about 100K or more. Like using the standard hex on one side Ascii
on the other(like what you get when you type file opt h). Seems like
everything I have found edits direct to disk and wont allow inserts or
deletes. Anyone know of such an animal in the public domain ?
If not here is a project for someone looking for ideas of needed utilites
to write(I wouldn't know where to begin). Ideally program would read file
into memory and allow inserts and deletes in hex or ascii,then write file
back to disk from memory with a different file name. Cut and paste would be
a nice feature also to add but anything that performs the basic idea would
be better than I am doing now.(moving the file to an IBM to use a PD
utility that is a diskeditor with insert and delete and then moving it back
to the amiga). Any help greatly appreicated. Steve Cunningham
Steve,
I'm sorry that I don't have the animal you're looking for, but I'm
curious. What are you using this for?

Using it to edit midi data from other computers file formats.And in some
cases to edit header information on bad stored or bad transmited compressed
files(i.e a warp with the warp header missing or trash in from of it).
Nothing worst than downloading a 200K program and not being able to used
it. Steve Cunningham
