hex editor
Greetings, I have this text file I want to read that has ^M as the record separator (in emacs). Is there a utility on the Mac that i can use to view this file in hex. I thought i remember something like hex filename, but it is not there. Joe.

Check the man page, it has several useful flags. I like -C: piltdown:~ alh$ hexdump -C testasm.s 2e 74 65 78 74 0a 2e 67 6c 6f 62 6c 20 5f 6d 61 |.text..globl _ma| 0010 69 6e 0a 5f 6d 61 69 6e 3a 09 0a 09 70 75 73 68 |in._main:...push| 0020 6c 09 24 30 78 30 30 0a 09 6d 6f 76 6c 09 25 65 |l.$0x00..movl.%e| etc... -- Make sure your code does nothing gracefully.

It is an extraordinarily useful Finder substitute.

MPW and BBEdit have a dumpfile option that displays in hex but will not allow editing. sedit was around for Classic OS which allowed editing and access to SCSI features. That probably is dead for ATA drives. pack and print with perl?? -- -- From the U S of A, the only socialist country that refuses to admit it. --
