Hi, does WinHex support the ability to define/mark special shaped blocks of data in the Hex Display, for instance complete (or parts of) columns, or any other matrices of bytes, so that these could be copied/exported for analyzing/manipulation to other tools, and then imported/pasted back in again later...? Or is there other ways of doing things like that...? |

No, it does not support that, sorry. |

Ok, but is this something that you might consider adding to future versions of WinHex? It could make the editing process much more flexible if one could mark and manipulate bytes which don't follow straight after eachother. An example: - A file containing hundreds of 36-byte records, but one is only interested in increasing a 4-byte value inside each of those records by a certain number. If one could mark all of those 4-byte values, one could then either have a function inside WinHex for increasing those values directly, or have the means of exporting/importing only the marked area. But perhaps one can already do something similar in the advanced/registered versions of WinHex by using scripts or templates? Not completely sure what one really can do with the script and template features. |
