I have two files which have been merged together, I have one of the original files but not the other can WinHex be used to separate the original files out?

If so how?

Thanks for any help

This is a classical task for a Hex-Editor.

If merged means concatenated, everything is easy: determine the position of the one of the original files and cut out the remainder and save it to a new file.

If the merging is in fragments, the "Synchronize & Compare" from the "view" menu can be used to identify the complementary file.

Thanks for that, but is there anyway from this to produce the original file without any of the information from that of the second file?
