Binary Breakdown

For Binary Experts: How do you break down binary information? Example is like from 0x000000 to 0x1806330, I want to break it down from 0x000000 to 0x000050. How do you do it?

Re: Binary Breakdown

"How do you break down binary information?" I do not understand. Do you mean making a file shorter, or what?

Re: Binary Breakdown

Is that even possible?

Re: Binary Breakdown

In any hex editor, hitting Delete after highlighting some data should allow you to delete that data, thereby shifting the data after the highlighted section (if any) and making the overall length of the file shorter. So there you go, easy.
Usually, the editor warns you about actions that alter the length of a file, and encourages you to use Copy-Paste whenever possible. You should definitely make sure you know what you're doing when trimming down binary files...
Not that I'm really curious, but could you tell us what you need that for (and what it has to do wiht Oni modifications)? It could be that you're trying to reinvent the wheel, or doing the right thing with the wrong tools and procedure.
