Hi Experts!

Do you know of an editor (free downloadable) where i can type any string like "volume=10" and it will automatically convert to hex value like "766F6C....
 
Yes, of course. Take Windows Calculator, switch on Scientific view and enjoy (dec to hex conversion et vice versa;)...
 
how can i type text chars there like "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"?
 
Vim ( is a great editor, and is free.
Among other goodies it ships with a utility named xxd that does what you want.

Hope it helps.

Theophilos.

A few weeks of trial and error can spare you lots and lots of minutes reading the manual.
