Previously I never succeeded. With those 2 'ticks', it finds the first matching byte on the display only. Once the endianism is determined you can use: -> cat Log | hexdump | grep 2f3a == 0000130 2f3a 772f 7777 6b2e 6168 616e 6163 6564 0000230 6f65 2073 2040 3835 202e 6966 656c 2f3a On 9/21/16, mc-requ...@gnome.org <mc-requ...@gnome.org> wrote: > Send mc mailing list submissions to > mc@gnome.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > mc-requ...@gnome.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > mc-ow...@gnome.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of mc digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
