Hi all ,
I have binary file(it looks like 101010100100001001001)
I have opened in emac....in hex mode(by giving ESC X--->hexl mode)
now it looks like (1ad3 89f0 0ba2.....)
Now i want to change to :
1ad3 89f0 0ba2 original file
2bd3 89f0 0ba2 new file(say)
but when i type 2 ...it takes its asciii value & changes two bytes.What i
want is when i press 2 , its hexadecimal value(i.e. 2) insted of ascii value
should appear.
Is there any method to change one-nible value in emacs or vi .
Plz help ...its v imp & will save our lot of time.(Basically in above case
we r trying to corrupt data)
Note : input file is binary file.
Thanx lot in advance.
Regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Datta Patil
