Search for Data in a File (Solved)

(1/3) > >>

loki:
I can't seem to figure out how to search for data in a file - I want to find all the file that contain data "TCON.......(".  I can see it in the viewer, but I can't copy it or search for it.

loki:
Sort of answered it myself - In the Find Files dialogue - put hex value in the File Content box and choose Matching Method = Hex and Search Content Box = Binary.  Is there a way to copy the hex data.  I used another program to get it.  I could type it by hand...

Search for Ascii text in Binary files are not working yet in the new file search. it will be back again.
Right now you have to go the hex way to find text in binary files.

loki:
Upon testing the hex search, it's not working either.  It finds different files each time - without me changing anything. Seems like the first search only searches the first folder.  The next time, it searches more. But it fails to find files in subfolders too.  Also it stops working and the search window just sits there - it never says the search is over - buttons say stop or pause.

Mathias (Author):
Hex work for me.  I'm not able to make it fail.
If you have a case where hex does not work, I would be great if you could describe one.

Also if it 'hang', Then the content search probably got stuck on something in a text file.
If you are able to narrow down and find what file it get stuck on, maybe we can find what causing it.
