Done: Export selection to a binary file without using clipboard

Post by Dwedit »

Sometimes, I'd just like to be able to select a range of bytes, and export that range of bytes directly to a new file without using the clipboard. Sometimes what I've selected is over 500MB in size, and won't fit in the clipboard.

i need this function also.

If you can add command-line support is more better.

For example:
HxD /Extract Source.exe /StartOffset:0x1000 /EndOffset:0x5000 Target.exe
HxD /Extract Source.exe /StartOffset:0x1000 /EndOfFile Target.exe
HxD /Extract Source.exe /StartOffset:0x1000 /Length:0x5000 Target.exe

Thanks Maël.

Block selection in sector units

Saving selected sector blocks directly to file would be useful. At the moment you can only copy and paste within the limits of user memory, if I understand correctly.

From David Charles:
It would be nice if HxD had an option to save the selected region. As it is, you have to copy, paste to a new file, and save. Workable, but inconvenient. This could just be a separate menu option (e.g., Save Selection) or a checkbox in the save dialog, e.g., "Save selection only."

I would appreciate this feature as well. If I could vote, I'd go for a "Save Selection as...".
For this task, I currently have a 2nd editor: frhed.
Except for this feature, your tool beats frhed by far.

Thanks for this great Tool,
Joerg

Save selection to file exists since HxD 2.2.
