I'm not sure if this is the right forum for my question, but here goes... I have a file which is divided into 510-byte blocks, each comprised of a 10-byte header and 500 bytes of actual data. The header string is identical for each block. I would like to create a new file which contains ONLY the actual data. I wish to strip out the 10-byte header from each block, leaving only the actual data bytes. I have absolutely no experience with scripting but I have a feeling that a script would work nicely for what I'm looking to do. Or is there a simpler way that I can run this process automatically without scripting. Considering that the file has 9,020 blocks(!), I'd rather not do this manually. Any assistance is greatly appreciated! Thanks! Doug thx99@cox.net | ||

This is a very good example of a problem that can be solved with a WinHex script. I did not test the following, but principally it should work like that: CloseAll Open C:\sourcefile.dat Open C:\outputfile.dat { NextObj Move 10 Read MyBuffer 500 NextObj Write MyBuffer }[9020] | ||

Thanks a million, Stefan! I read up a bit on scripts and modified it a bit as follows: CloseAll Open "C:\sourcefile.dat" Create "C:\outputfile.dat" 0 { NextObj Move 10 Read MyBuffer 500 NextObj Write MyBuffer }[9020] The "Open C:\outputfile.dat" command kept giving me an error, but the "Create" command works well. The only thing is that I have to delete the very last byte ("00") of the outputfile. Everything works like a charm after that! Thanks again! Doug |
