hexandreplace's Issues

Application exits immediately after finding/replacing first match

Hi - first off, I LOVE this program! This turned out to be very useful for what I needed it (and in a specific instance that other solutions, like Notepad++ failed miserably due to not being able to replace certain hex control codes). I was able to pair this with a script to recursively replace certain hex patterns in numerous large binary files, where this otherwise would not have been feasible to do by hand.

However, I noticed that it did not replace every instance of these patterns, but rather would come upon the first match in each file, replace that, and then exit.

Was this the intended behavior?

Need Large file

1. Need large file 5gb edit
2. Need multiplay search and replace ex 12 = 58494 : HexAndReplace "58494" "474747"
   Output : 12 hex found and replaced.
   thanks.
