Hi I'm trying to use power shell command Format-Hex and it works well . In normal hex editor there is option to hide and not include the decoded text characters on the right .
I couldnt figure out how to use Format-Hex in power shell to only show :
00000030 1A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 68 74 74 70 3A 2F 2F 66
Is there a parameter to do that with PS C:\Users\YourName\Desktop>Format-Hex file.dll instead of the below ? I am just confirming if any such parameter or cli tool that exists to allow when using Format-Hex command not looking for truncation or file parsing solutions .

I read the help on Format-Hex
CodePudding user response:
No, Format-Hex
has no parameter that would omit the last column.
If you're running on macOS or Linux, you can use the standard utilities available there, such as hexdump
.
However, at the expense of performance, you can write a simple wrapper function around Format-Hex
:
function Format-HexBare {
Format-Hex @args |
Out-String -Stream |
ForEach-Object `
-Begin { $maxLen = if ($IsCoreCLR) { 64 } else { 58 } } `
-Process {
$line = $_
try { $line.Substring(0, $maxLen) } catch { $line }
}
}
