Editing with Hex Editor
Hex Editor allows you to edit the content of a selected part of an opened object. By default, Hex Editor shows content of an object in Read Only mode that prevents accidental modifications. In Edit mode, you can change content of the opened file or disk and all modifications are stored in memory. Changes are written to the drive when you click Save.
To toggle between Read Only and Edit modes, do one of the following:
- From the Hex Editor toolbar, choose Edit > Allow Edit content.
- Right-click in the edit pane choose Allow Edit content from the context menu.
When you copy selected text from the edit pane to the clipboard, you may store it there in one of three formats:
- Binary – hexadecimal representation of selected data
- Text – text representation of selected data
- Display – formatted hexadecimal and text representation of selected data (as it appears in the editor)
