Edit Commands


A.X.E. has the usual Cut, Copy, and Paste commands, all of which operate on the currently selected range of bytes. See editing for more information on these. In accordance with tradition the Edit menu also contains Undo and Search related commands.


Undo
Undoes the last action in the undo list. The length of this list may be changed, but defaults initially to 1000 entries. Anything which changes the value of the bytes being edited is undoable.

Redo
Redoes an undone action.

Search
Brings up the Find Dialog to allow values to be searched for in the document.

Replace
Brings up the Replace Dialog to allow values to be searched for and changed in the document.

Find Forward
Repeats the last search, moving the view to the next match in the file from the current insert point.

Find Backward
Repeats the last search, moving the view to the first match in the file, counting backward from the current insert point.

String Replace
Because people often want to search and replace strings without bothering about the other types of data a file might contain, there is a special string replace dialog .

Options/Colors
Brings up a dialog that allows you to change the colors used when drawing the views.

Options/Defaults
Allows you to set defaults for new views, including the structure to use, the jump distance to use, the number of bytes per row, and the width of the stripes used to make the view clearer.

Options/Undo
Allows you to set the size of A.X.E.'s undo lists.

Options/Charsets
Allows you to set character-set related values for AXE. This will affect the way bytes in a document are converted to characters or strings in various views. In earlier versions, you could set a code page, a character set, and a font name. As of version 3.2, you simply pick a font from a regular font dialog. The code page will be guessed by AXE based on the 'Script' (i.e. what Microsoft usually call the 'character set', which really means 'code set' -- Microsoft have never been very good with internationalization terminology) you pick on the font dialog.
