I've been reading about ways to convert strings and what not to hex and back and forth. I'm looking for the fastest and least memory intensive way to search through a file for a hex value and gets its byte offset in the file. This hex value (that I'm looking for in the file) is of course a hex representation of the binary data and its 8 bytes long.<br>
I figured reading the whole file and converting it to hex from ascii..etc.. would be overkill, especially if its a large file.<br>What do you guys recommend? I want to search the file for certain hex value and get the byte offset within the file.<br>
<br>Thanks for reading.<br>
