Import Resource Data

Browse button — Allows for importing resource data. Imported files can be of any type and will be interpreted as byte data.

Resource Editor

The Resource Editor box is a special edit area that accepts only hexadecimal digits (0 – 9 and A – F). Enter the binary data without regard to spacing. The spacing is taken care of automatically by the editor.

To go to a specific line in the resource, right-click in the box and click Go To (or press Ctrl+G). In the box that displays, enter the line number and click OK. The line will be highlighted in the Resource Editor.

To find specific text, right-click in the box and click Find and Replace (or press Ctrl+F) to display a find and replace dialog box.

Create Hex Size

The Create Hex Size area can be used to set the data capacity. Entering a number in the text box and clicking the Create Hex Size button has the following effect:

  • If there is already data in the edit area, any data at or below the new size will remain intact. Any data beyond the new specified size will be erased from the editor.
  • If existing data is smaller than the new size, the space after existing data is padded with empty bytes (00) up to the requested size.
  • If no data currently exists in the editor when setting the size, the editor is filled with empty bytes (00) up to the requested size.

Export button

Allows for exporting the resource data. Unlike the Export button on the Resource Manager dialog box, this exports only the text data from the Resource Editor area to a text file.
