[comp.os.msdos.programmer] Wanted: binary file editor

ho@hoss.unl.edu (Tiny Bubbles...) (01/16/91)

Help!  I need a program that can do search-and-replace of text strings
in a DOS binary file.

Restrictions:

*  The patching program must be able to change the length of the strings
   found (i.e., replacing all occurrences of "foo" with "FUBAR" must be
   permitted).

*  The patching program must be able to run in batch mode, with either
   command-line parameters or a script read from stdin.

Lots of binary file editors exist, but none that I have seen can satisfy
those two needs.  

Any suggestions?
