[8.52a] Hex search in Lister for Cx, Dx, Ex, Fx

Post by *poiuz »

Can anyone please confirm the following:

1) Open (binary) file with Lister (make sure it contains Cx, Dx, Ex and Fx Bytes, with x element of [0-9A-F])

2) (Optional) press 3 for hex view

3a) Hex search for Cx finds Cx and Ex
3b) Hex search for Dx finds Dx and Fx
3c) Hex search for Ex finds Cx and Ex
3d) Hex search for Fx finds Dx and Fx

By default HEX search is case-insensitive. You should try to enable case-sensitive search.

Hm, I do not understand what case sensitivity has to do with the behavior I described.

Should it be normal that a search for C0 finds E0 as well as C0, a search for C1 finds E1 as well as C1, ...?
I expected to find only C0 when I searched for C0 and was quite surprised to find E0 as well.

May be its just me, but that strikes me as pretty unusual :) .

But case sensitivity seems to change the (IMHO) wrong behavior.
If you make the search case sensitive only the (IMHO) right bytes are found.

It seems that TC only uses HEX for building search string and then searches it as usual string. You can even mix hex and strings: "PK"0102.

Yeah, well, it's by design.
