Re: IPv4/IPv6 in Data Inspector

Endianness of IPv6 addresses in binary/bytes sequences seem to be in big endian in all C structs, among them the Linux kernel, and WinSock/Windows, also when in memory of Intel/little endian machines.

Re: IPv4/IPv6 in Data Inspector


Hello!

I work with a lot of binary files and dumps that include IP addresses (mostly IPv4), so I would love to have support on the data inspector in the same way that C0A00915 can be read as Uint32 352952512 it could have another row with IPv4 198.168.9.21

IPv6 addresses would be a nice bonus ...

Re: Data Inspector keeps disappearing!

Good to know what the cause was. It seems you wrote me a mail, too, to which I replied, but didn't get a reply back. Did it go through?

Re: Ability to copy data as Python bytearray

There is already an option in HxD for returning data as Python code.

Your example would result in:

Code: Select all

rawdata = [
    0x3D, 0x4F, 0xAC, 0xDF
]

To enable multiple instances, check "Tools|Options|Runnable in parallel (multiple instances)".

Re: User manual - list of command line arguments

Aside from some internally used command line parameters for dealing with elevation prompts, there are currently no special command line options.

The only currently public option is /readonly, which will make HxD open the files passed per command line as readonly.

Re: Access violation when dragging tabs

Thanks that was a VCL (Delphi) error as well, wrong return datatype. Took quite a bit of searching with the hex data, but I found it and fixed it in the source code, so in future this patch won't be necessary.

Re: Plugin repository

Sure, why not. Do you have a list of plugins available for HxD?

So far I am aware of https://github.com/DigicoolThings/HxD_D ... ctorPlugin

There was another one I stumbled upon by chance a while ago.

Feel free to post links in this topic and I see how to give it a more visible place.

Re: pasting non-hex characters from clipboard

The revised error message could look like this:
Invalid hex values in the clipboard prevent pasting into the hex column. For arbitrary text, paste into the text column, instead.

The first invalid character (%c) is at line %d, character position %d.
The allowed characters are A to F, a to f, 0 to 9 ...

Re: pasting non-hex characters from clipboard

It does indeed stop at the first invalid character, but since this has to be a generic solution, it won't be useful for everyone: A compiler, parser, or something like that might output the first invalid character location in a file, but there you assume the file is sourcecode written mostly in the ...

Re: pasting non-hex characters from clipboard


Ultimately I located the characters by pasting the data into notepad and halving the data, dumping the top half into HxD, halve the remaining data and paste the top half into HxD, continued until I could no longer get a good top half of data, then start the halving process from the end of the ...

Re: pasting non-hex characters from clipboard

The error was supposed to remind people that the hex column and text column automatically interpret textual clipboard data differently:

the hex column interprets text as bytes encoded as characters from 00-FF (characters themselves are encoded in a text encoding, so technically, there are two ...

Re: Cannot open file for write access. Used by another process.

Ideally you would ask the one who made the tutorial.

Where do you enter it (which colum hex or text?) and what is the error message?
