Hexadecimal editing
Using the Toggle Hex Editing action in the editor toolbar, you can display the hexadecimal (hex) values for the selected line of text.
About this task
Restriction: Hexadecimal editing is not available when you edit EBCDIC DBCS code.
The hex values are displayed at the bottom of the editor in a table format. There are two rows, the first being the highlighted text and the second the hex value of the line. You can change the hex values in the table and the change is reflected in the text. Changes that are made to the character text are also reflected in the hex representation of the text.
After the hex editing function is enabled, you can select different lines in the file and the hex representation is shown at the bottom of the editor. To disable hex editing, click Toggle Hex Editing in the toolbar.
