How to remove extra junks when I add/remove a string in a hex editor


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to modify a wav file in 010 hex Editor. all I want is remove this 'fact' chunk:

66 61 63 74 04 00 00 00 48 1A 00 00

and add this string to the end:

73 6D 70 6C 3C 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 2C 51 00 00 3C 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 74 49 4D 45 08 00 00 00 DE 07 09 18 17 0F 27 00 76 65 72 2E 04 00 00 00 01 00 00 00

When I export it and put it in a Riff editor, this warning message pops up:

"There's extra junk at the end of the file."

As an amateur, my best guess is it has something to do with the length of the modified strings. If it's so then the question is, how may I calculate the right length and remove extra junks ?

RaccoonCity,

Welcome to the AutoIt forums.

Is there actually an AutoIt question in there or are you just making a general query about WAV files? If the former, please explain exactly what problem you are having with AutoIt - if the latter I suggest searching t'interWeb for information about the RIFF header, which holds the overall size of the WAV file and needs to be changed when you subtract add bytes to it.

Oops! Apologies!

My question is kind of related to hex editors and I'm not sure if it has anything to do with autoit.. I just searched for my problem and this forum was on top. I thought it was a regular forum where I can ask my question.

RaccoonCity,

This is a forum dedicated to helping people write scripts in the AutoIt language, not a place for general programming questions. But my advice still stands - go and look at the RIFF header format as you will need to adjust the size parameter if you want to change the size of the WAV file.

But take a look around before you go - we would be happy to see you back if you decided AutoIt was something you wanted to use in future.
