#3 Editing files with names beginning with a number not possible
If you try to use HexEd v0.2.2 to edit files whose names begin with a number, no changes are made to the files. I tested it with the filenames 0.RAW, 1.RAW, 9.RAW, 65535.RAW, 12C.RAW, 12Z.RAW, 12CZ.RAW and used this command: hexed -e C 00 01 [filename].

Now it does not even work anymore with the command "hexed -e C 00 01 C0.RAW". I think I'm doing something horribly wrong.
Now I got it. The filename must not begin with a hex digit from 0 to F else no changes are made to the file.
Hi, to end the arguments for a command like enter or insert add a single - (hyphen).
You can then use any file name including names starting with a hex value.
hexed -e 10 1 2 3 - 1filename.dat
I'll work on making the file name detection to be smarter if a . (period) is included.
Thank you for your advice. With a hyphen it works perfectly. You could also just edit the usage instructions to "hexed [options] - [file]". That would be less work. :D
