[BUG] Wrong hex search in Lister

[stinf]

Hello,
I found an error in the hex search function in Lister: in a binary file, with hex view, I was searching for the hex string "ED02" and Lister found a match with "CD02". In the same file, I noticed the same error when I search for "CD" and get a match with "ED". The same problem seems to be present with other patterns, too.

If necessary I can investigate further.

Thanks.

It is a bit of feature: TC can search for hex values case insensitive or sensitive, so you have to check corresponding option too.

Ok, I tried with case sensitiveness checked, and it seems to be all ok.

But, can you please explain more details about this topic? It is not clear to me why 0xED should match 0xCD with a case insensitive search...

Thanks again.

0xCD - "Н"
0xED - "н"

Oh, thanks!

I did not realize you were talking about ASCII equivalents of the hex codes... to me it was just binary data!

Thanks again,

to me it was just binary data!

I also haven't expected such behaviour when noticed it for the first time years ago.
