Saving

[madsiddiqui]

I made an editor, Allows me to open a file, edit, etc...

Then here comes the SAVING part...

Normally when you save it writes to the file, Like if I edited it to "HELLO".

HELLO will be saved into the file.

What I need is SAVING it as a HEX file, Like if I edited it to "48454c4c4f".

HELLO will still be saved into the file.

Note: I've tried hex2string on saving, it works but with a few problems.

the hex "1D" when saving hex2string("1D"), doesn't do it correctly. It gives me nothing.

When it should be giving me this: [GS] , refer to: Group separator ("GS") : hex 1D

That's why I need to insert it to hex directly not via hex2string function.

How should I go about?

Thanks...

You mean something like that?

#include <String.au3>
$hFile = FileOpen("Test.bin", 2)
$bString = _StringToHex("HELLO")
FileWrite($hFile, $bString)
FileClose($hFile)

Something like this sir,

#include <String.au3>
 
 
$hFile = FileOpen("Test.bin", 17)
$bString = _HexToString("1d2423")
FileWrite($hFile, $bString)
FileClose($hFile)

When I view the file i see, correct values

Cool, you did it!

One more question, when saving the hex file it gives me 0x at the start?

How do I get rid of that?

Look at StringMid() function.

E.g.

$s = "0x12345678"
ConsoleWrite(StringMid($s, 3) & @CRLF)

This code should work for me, but I need advice on the StringReplace, I have so many strings to replace.

Any alternative way to get many strings replaced?

like

#include <String.au3>
 
$hFile = FileOpen("Test.bin", 18)
$hFile2 = FileOpen("Test2.bin", 0)
$chars = FileRead($hFile2)
$SH = StringReplace(StringReplace(StringReplace(StringReplace(StringReplace($chars, "", @TAB, 0 ,1), "", @CRLF, 0 ,1), "9" ,"-", 0 ,1), "4" ," ", 0 ,1), "7" ,"#", 0 ,1)
$bString = _StringToHex($SH)
FileWrite($hFile, _HexToString($bString))
FileClose($hFile)

Some of the strings I need to:

" " => "4","!" => "5",100 more strings to be replaced.  all 4 become space, or all space becomes 4.
