Text and Hex Editor???

Post by techie_alison »

Heyo,

Can anyone suggest (and hopefully upload) a small text editor, and maybe a hex editor too please?

I'm just looking for something ultra small, a single file, doesn't save any config files, and which is cheap and cheerful. aka. a text editor.

:D
If I don't answer or appear to have forgotton then email again, I'm scatty! :)

I use HexEdit 1.1 from Dirk Sabiwalsky. Unfortunately the version I have is only in German.

I used to use a small desk accessory called Diary for my text editing - had a few bugs iirc, but mostly it was sweet and simple.

Hex editors, well... KnifeST?

Antic's Disk Doctor - still use it to this day when on the ST. Very simple to use for hex-editing files and having a look around. Will upload it later on tonight assuming my ISP doesn't keep me holding on for ages whilst I give them questions which their scripted answers won't be able to cover :)

Here it is translated to English. No formatting changes, just words. Anyone know how to shorten the spacing on the menu item "Edit"?

Change the spaces ($20) to a $00 as that will denotes end of string.

This won't change much. The Edit menu item is an AES G_TITLE object that has its width inscribed, it doesn't care about the string length.

Use a resource editor to change that.

Can a Resource Editor change objects embedded in a .PRG file and not a .RSC?

No. If this is the case, you need to find the G_TITLE object in the executable (challenging) and adjust its width with your hex editor.

Ah, well this is ok since it is only aesthetic. The program is translated anyway. :wink:
