I am looking to replace a repeat block of hex values in a file with blanks so essentially striping them out. The size of the repeat block I am looking to strip out is 544 bytes in size, however the replace hex values only seems to accept 50 bytes, which is very low, are there any settings I can chose to increase this, of is there another way to strip out a repeat block this size. | ||

Whether you wish to replace the hex values with something or remove them I'm not sure, but you could use Edit | Fill Block or Edit | Remove manually or, if too many blocks to replace/remove, use a script. | ||

Thanks for the reply. its essentially a block header so I need to remove 544bytes blocks every 65568bytes. The bytes to remove are always the same and so a find will get them all, however the file contains several hundred thousand blocks, so manual is no good. I select edit, highlight the 544 bytes, copy hex values and then select replace hex and paste the hex values i want to replace but when I do this only 50 bytes are pasted into the replace window, not the 544 I selected, I also cannot add more manually so the field seems to be set at 50 bytes. | ||

Yes, the limit is 50 bytes. What you would like to accomplish can be done with a script. | ||

thanks but tried this and find the version I have bought does not do scripts, I have to buy the professional version to get scripts, wish I had known this beforehand. | ||

Have now upgraded to Professional version and I can run scripts. My script is simply ReplaceAll 0x25........ (for all 544 hex bytes) 0x but I get a parameter error when I try to run it, I've tried variations, without the 0x and with {down} but always the same, is the parameter too big? | ||

It is probably a lot simpler to write a script that simply writes 544 bytes of zeros and then skips the known number of bytes in between. | ||

Have now fixed this in that I have to replace it with something rather than nothing which is a bit annoying so my replace field had to contain data, how do I get it to replace all but with nothing. | ||

You cannot replace more more than 50 bytes with something else, neither with the user interface nor with a script. If you wish to overwrite certain bytes with a script, use the Write command. If you wish to remove certain bytes with a script, use the Remove command. |
