Subject: hexl-mode: searching for multi byte sequence?
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2015 13:55:38 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1ZEhx4-0004U8-Ex@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
Is there some way in hexl-mode to search for a (hex, octal, ...) byte
sequence? Currently, C-s behaves a bit strange in at least two regards:
1) If file contains the byte sequence #xDEADBEAF, depending on how
they are aligned (odd or even word), one has to look for "DEAD
BEAF" and "DE ADBE AF".
00000000: dead beaf 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................
00000000: 00de adbe af00 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................
2) If the byte sequence continues on a new line, i.e.
00000000: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 dead ................
00000010: beaf 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................
Then it is impossible to find the string at all.
Cheers, Alfred.
