The key thing is that it takes a file, gets the size of the file, and makes the buffer exactly that size. Then it puts everything from the file, into the buffer so you can then do whatever you want to do with it.

If you don't want to see the file size displayed, just // it out.

Remember to open the output of the hex dump file though, NOT the original data file.

Ok but the main problem is how to bufferize(store in a buffer) the data of the file as a string (hex dump) so i can manipulate them more simply.

Example:
suppose the hex dump of my binary file is :

Code:

0000000      ff07    ffff    ffff    ffff    ffff    ffff    ffff    ffff
0000020      06ff    1016    0740    fff3    ffff    ffff    ffff    ffff
0000040      6004    0101    3074    ffff    ffff    ffff    4bff    4200
0000060      331f    0000    0051    fff1    ffff    4bff    4200    011f
0000100      ff04    00ff    0011    0000    ff00    1610    1939    1202

i want to store it in a char buffer:

char buffer[512];

and after running the program i can loop through my data file using this char buffer.

Regards.
