In your original post you said you wanted to 'pull out bits' and 'replace them'... that can be done with binary editors but you have to know what you are doing.

When you say 'pull out entire files' .. that is a different problem than 'pulling out bits'....

I use binary editors to change only small things like works and phrases, or correct a bad pointer.

However, there are folks who can do things with binary editors that would make the greatest techie green with envy. I used to work with one guy who could change compiled machine code with a binary editor and alter programs because he did not like how the compiler was working (not me!) or simply because recompiling took too long.

If your goals are to change out files, then of course, a binary editor is too difficult. That was not the question in your original post Smilie
