Hexapad Description
Hexapad is a lightweight Windows application whose purpose is to help you work with a binary, hexadecimal, decimal, and octal editor.
Keep it on portable devices
The utility is portable so you can run it without having to follow the installation steps. You only need to open the executable file in order to get access to the tool’s features.
What’s more, you can store it on USB flash drives and run it on the target system without administrative privileges.
Clean layout
The GUI looks intuitive and gives you the possibility to add files in the working environment using the built-in browse button or drag-and-drop support.
There’s support for different view modes which help you focus solely on the code, text or both of them. Plus, you can enable a wide view where text is placed under each code line.
Editing features
You are given the freedom to insert or delete text, add data from a file to the current document, perform searches using regular expressions, and undo or redo your actions.
What’s more, you can keep a list with recently edited files, set the preferred code numeric system (binary, hexadecimal, decimal, octal or a custom one), pick the encoding, as well as alter the text in terms of font, size, and color.
Scripting tasks are also on the feature list in order to help you insert or delete parts of the text, or define your own transformations for the selected text.
The application can be integrated in your context menu so you can open the preferred documents using right-clicks. Tests have shown that Hexapad carries out the editing process very quickly and without hampering your computer’s performance.
