You open a file for writing, you put data in it. That's a "binary" file.

How to create/edit a binary file?

Check out the "mode" settings for the FileOpen() function in the help file. Demo:

$sFile = @TempDir & "\MyBinary.bin"
$binData = Binary("0xFEDCBA9876543210FEDCBA9876543210")

; Write
$hFile = FileOpen($sFile, 2 + 16) ; Overwrite binary
FileWrite($hFile, $binData)
FileClose($hFile)

; Read
$hFile = FileOpen($sFile, 16) ; Read binary
$binData = FileRead($hFile)
FileClose($hFile)

MsgBox(64, "Read", "Data = " & $binData)
