hexy -- utility to create hex dumps
hexy is a ruby library that's easy to use to create hex dumps from
within your ruby scripts. It contains a number of options to configure
how the hex dumb will end up looking.
It should create a pleasant looking hex dumb by default:
b = Hexy.new "\000\001\003\005\037\012\011bcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789"
puts b.to_s
results in this dump:
0000000: 00 01 03 05 1f 0a 09 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 6a .......b cdefghij
0000010: 6b 6c 6d 6e 6f 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 7a klmnopqr stuvwxyz
0000020: 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 01234567 89
but it's also possible to configure:
- Line numbering
- Line width
- Format
- Case of hex decimals
- Presence of the ASCII annotation in the right column.
This mean you can do exciting dumps like:
0000000: 0001 0305 1f0a 0962 .... ...b
0000008: 6364 6566 6768 696a cdef ghij
0000010: 6b6c 6d6e 6f70 7172 klmn opqr
0000018: 7374 7576 7778 797a stuv wxyz
0000020: 3031 3233 3435 3637 0123 4567
0000028: 3839 89
or even:
0000000: 00 01 03 05 1f 0a 09 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 6a
0000010: 6b 6c 6d 6e 6f 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 7a
0000020: 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39
