Professional text and hex editing
with Binary Templates technology.







010 Editor - Text/Hex Editor Homepage

The Templates menu allows loading and running Binary Templates (see Introduction to Templates and Scripts). This section lists all available menu options in the Templates menu:

  • New Template - Creates a new Binary Template and opens it for editing in the interface.

  • Open Template - Opens a file dialog box to load a Binary Template (usually with file extension ".bt").

  • Edit Template - If the current file has a template associated with it, that template is displayed for editing in the interface. If there is no template associated with the current file, the last accessed template is opened and if no template has been opened you will be asked to create a new template or open an existing template. Templates can be associated with the current file by using the Select Template drop-down list in the Tool Bar. See Running Templates and Scripts for more information.

  • Run Template - If the currently selected file is not a template, clicking the 'Run Template' menu option will run any template that is associated with the current file. If the current file is a template, this menu option will display 'Run Script on File' and clicking the option will execute the template on the selected file. See Running Templates and Scripts for more information. The results are displayed either in the Template Results panel below the Editor Window, or in the Variables tab of the Inspector (see Working with Template Results for more information).

  • (Custom Template List) - Displays a list of custom templates, such as 'BMP Template', 'ZIP Template', and 'WAV Template'. Clicking on an item on the list usually executes the template but can also be configured to open the template for editing in the interface. Templates can be added to the list by clicking the 'Edit Template List' menu option. Note that templates can be configured to load automatically based on the opened file type (see Template Options for more information).

  • Edit Template List - Displays the Template Options (see Template Options) dialog that can be used to add templates to the Custom Template List for easy access.

  • Online Template Repository - Visits the online template archive at 'http://www.sweetscape.com/010editor/templates/'. This archive allows uploading templates you have created, or downloading templates that other people have created. Please feel free to upload any templates that other people may find useful.
