WinHex 11.25 sr7 Assign MyVariable 0xFFEEDD CopyIntoNewFile "C:\file+MyVariable+.txt The above lines, when used in a script will create a file with the filename: "file16772829.txt" as expected. Assign MyVariable 0xFFEEDD00 CopyIntoNewFile "C:\file+MyVariable+.txt still works but: Assign MyVariable 0xFFEEDD01 CopyIntoNewFile "C:\file+MyVariable+.txt or anything other than 00 in the fourth byte will yield unexpected results, sometimes no file is created, sometimes the variable portion of the name appears to be the Hex values converted to ASCII. Is there a 3 byte (24bit limit) here? This appears to be the case, after which, if 4 bytes or greater are used the conversion is ASCII, which can't always generate a legal filename and fails? I would like to be able to use up to 8 bytes (64 bits). BTW 8 bytes will work if 4 through 8 are all zeros as in 0xffeedd0000000000 (little-endian the trailing zeros are insignificant, if zeros?) Thanks. | ||

Why does the following script paste trailing zeros? What am I doing wrong? 'Paste' seems to add a trailing zero often and I have never figured out what I have been doing wrong (so I have been avoiding it). create "c:\temp\pastepluszero.txt" 0 save close open "c:\temp\pastepluszero.txt" write "12345678" save close {open "c:\temp\pastepluszero.txt" assign finish getsize dec finish block 0 finish copy goto finish paste save close}[8] | ||

WinHex cannot deal with zero-size files, that's why a warning is issued when you create one with 0 bytes. It will automatically be enlarged to 1 byte (which is by default 0x00). If you paste data at offset 0, the 0x00 byte is moved accordingly. This is the same behavior like if you use the GUI of WinHex, not a script. The concatenation of strings and variables in the parameter of the CopyIntoNewFile command interprets variables as an integer and expresses this integer value in ASCII notation only if it is "not larger than 2^24 (~16 Mio.)", in accordance with the documentation. | ||

I have a test thet, your code "block 0 finish" hav a question. if you change it like this "block 0 (finish-1)",you can't find the zero .I think, blocksize can find 8,so the code "block 0 finish mean "block 0 8"=total 9. so have a zero. I don'know that my idea is right or not. |
