Idea for useful tool

So, anyone who's tried to do some extensive hex editing would know how freaking tedious it is to copy huge lengths of hex, pasting over, or turning a huge length of hex values into zero's.

 

We've got plenty of programmers here, and most of you are capable of doing something so easy.

 

This is the idea for the tool:

 

 

>Open file<

 

Able to have different tabs open for different files

  

Different options below -

 

option #1

 

Copy from address >enter address< to >enter address< and an option button beside it for copy all

hit enter/ or click on button "Done"

Message displayed after "Values copied!"

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The tool should have, and include an option for pasting

 

option #2

 

Paste over address >enter address< to >enter address<

hit enter/ or click on button "Done"

Message displayed after "values pasted, and saved!"

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

option #3

 

Also another option to make free space out of specific lengths of adresses turning each value between say "00044DF0" to "00094870" into zero's for example.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

It would be ideal if you could keep doing different options over, and over without the need of closing the program and restarting it.

 

 

Why am I the first person to think about this!?!

 

It would be so useful when relocating things like Audioseqs, or pasting in a new logo, or whatever.

Someone, make this happen. No doubt it will be used by anyone who does a lot of hex editing with just about anything

The Hex Editor in question is called HxD. Ctrl + E is the shortcut for "Select Block". You can enter the start offset and end offset to select, and then do whatever you please with it. You can even right click it and hit "Fill Selection" to fill it with 00's if you want. 

 

--That's probably why a separate tool does not exist. Most Hex Editors that I know of have a feature like that already.
