Hex Search

Hex Search is a lifesaver for anyone learning to code, especially when you need to dig into hexadecimal values tied to text elements. Have you ever found yourself with just a command sequence and no actual values? That's where Hex Search comes in handy!

How Hex Search Works

This tool scans executable files and lays out all the hex elements alongside their corresponding symbols. Think of it like a medical x-ray; it reveals all the parts that need your attention.

User-Friendly Interface

One of the best things about Hex Search is its classic build. It’s super easy to use, no matter your skill level! Once you load a file, the interface splits into two sections. This makes it simple to focus on both the hex values and their designated symbols.

Navigating Through Hex Values

The hexadecimals are shown in pages because the interface has a fixed size that can’t be stretched or maximized. You can use red arrows to flip through the pages, and there’s even a special red-yellow arrow that whisks you straight to the last page! Plus, don’t worry about losing track of where you are—your file's position stays visible in the second panel.

Find What You Need

Hex Search gives you different ways to hunt down bits of code you're interested in. You can do case-sensitive or case-insensitive searches. Plus, there's something called Text Wildcard Searches. This lets you search based on general characters. For instance, if you're after words starting with "SOFT," just type "SOFT?" If you're looking for something more specific, try “SO?E” to find words that start with SO and end with E.

Your Coding Companion

In short, Hex Search offers great insights into programming code when you only have partial or full command sequences but lack literal values. It’s definitely worth checking out!
