Hi guys!
Please i need support!
I have an hex file and i need to split it in low bytes and high bytes.
My eprom programmer just don't handle this function.I have to burn one low
bytes eprom and one high bytes eprom.
Can anyone help me splitting the file in high-low (i can send by email the
hex) or helping me finding a tool to do this?
Best Regards

You mean its 16 bit data you're trying to partition ?

Yes you got it!! exaclty this!


Now, if all you have is just a pure HEX file, that is an
easy one to do..

Do you have a file that I can look at ?

I have sended in your email the file!Thank you for the help!Let me know if
you receive it!

Ok, well, I don't know of any util that I have that
Click to expand...
currently exist that can do that how ever, I am a programmer
and that seems to be a very simple task me

I assume these files have the address at the left column
and like 8 or 16 bytes of data per line ?

If this is the case, splitting the file would also mean
updating the addresses at the left..

Now, if all you have is just a pure HEX file, that is an
easy one to do..

There's a freebie utility called SPLIT2.exe at
http://www.kmitl.ac.th/~kswichit/68k/SPLIT2.EXE. I think it will do what
you need. (It's DOS progran, but runs fine in Winders.)

I was going to suggest something like that, I did get the files he
wants me to convert. After taking a look at the Intel HEX format. I
can do it how ever, I suggested that maybe he'd try an existing tool
first before I whip up this GUI based app. :)

I've never had to split up HEX files before, other wise, i would
have already had a tool created :)

Yeah, I know what you mean... I'm a retired programmer, but have always had
the right tools to do my development work. I've never had to do any biinary
file splitting, so never had to have a utility to do it.

Doesn't the programmer's manufacturer provide a utility to do this? You'd
think it would.

Have you successfully converted the files or do you still need help?

It's not that hard to write, especially for a one-off use when you may
choose to dispense with the error checking that would otherwise expand
it in size by several times.

Regardless, you're not the first to need something like this. A nice set
of tools is available at http://srecord.sourceforge.net/ and there are
surely others out there with a bit of 'net searching.

My Sunshine Expro-60 has a bunch of utilities that can do this.

you can do it with excel
Click to expand...
there are bin hex and octal conversion functions such as bin2hex and hex2bin
there are parsing functions such as substr and mid
there is a concantination operator "&" that will allow you to paste the bytes
back together after swapping them.


Should be an easy program to write just using excel functions, but, if
necessary, you can dip into visual basic which is the macro language used by
excel.

Hi "JA"

I am an assembly programmer for many years. Do you mean the
first byte of each byte pair (word) as "low byte"? In other words, the
splitter will create two separate files. The "low bytes" file will contain
all the odd number (first, third, fifth, etc.) bytes of the hex file. The
"high bytes" file will contain the even number bytes.

Note: Offset addresses, if it exist in the hex file, will be ignored
by the splitter because of the "broken" sequence in those created
files. However, if offset addresses is important, that can be arranged.

I can create the splitter program for no charge, but a small donation
will be appreciated.

Regards, John
