EditPadPro has been my text editor for more than 10 years - and it just keeps getting better. The 'Pro' version is $50 (there is a 30-day free trial). There is a freeware 'Lite' version, but I'm not sure it does Hex. The Pro version has over 20 preconfigured file formats and is readily configurable for others. Regular expression search and replace in hex. zillions of other features. www.editpadpro.com http://www.editpadpro.com/hexadecimal.html Gary ---------------------------------------------- Gary A.
