Binary Options

Dialog Box Options

• Comparison block size
  Minimal difference block size, in bytes. The bigger the number, the faster and less accurate the comparison. The most accurate binary comparison is performed when the block size is 1 byte. However, if you are comparing large files, comparison may take such a long time that it would make sense to sacrifice some precision for better performance.

• Use this number
  Use the specified number of bytes per line.
  
  
• Fit to window
  Change the number of bytes per line to always fit the current screen or print area width.

• Byte value format
  Specify the byte value format to be used in the left part of binary display.
  
  
• Byte value case
  Specify the byte value case to be used in the left part of binary display. This option Only effects hexadecimal format.

• ASCII
  Use the ASCII character set to display byte codes.
  
  
• Show control characters
  Display control characters (with values 1...31) while showing ASCII codes. Otherwise, display the '.' character.
  
  
• Show extended characters
  Display extended characters (with values 128...255) while showing ASCII codes. Otherwise, display the '.' character.
  
  
• EBCDIC
  Use the EBCDIC character set to display byte codes.

• Command
  Specify an editor to be spawned for binary files by the View/Edit File option. To browse for the editor's executable file, use the button with three dots on the right of the text box.
  
  
• Arguments
  Specify the command-line arguments to be utilized when spawning a file. The following internal ExamDiff Pro variables can be used to construct arguments (by clicking on the button with triangle):
  
  
  • File path surrounded by quotation marks
    Name of the file in the active pane surrounded by quotation marks.
    
    
  • File path without quotation marks
