Split HEX files..

You mean its 16 bit data you're trying to partition ?

Yes you got it!! exaclty this!

I have sended in your email the file!Thank you for the help!Let me know if you receive it!

Ok, well, I don't know of any util that I have that currently exist that can do that how ever, I am a programmer and that seems to be a very simple task me

I assume these files have the address at the left column and like 8 or 16 bytes of data per line ?

If this is the case, splitting the file would also mean updating the addresses at the left..

Now, if all you have is just a pure HEX file, that is an easy one to do..

Do you have a file that I can look at ?

Ok, I'll take a look at it.

There's a freebie utility called SPLIT2.exe at

Yeah, I know what you mean... I'm a retired programmer, but have always had the right tools to do my development work. I've never had to do any biinary file splitting, so never had to have a utility to do it.

I was going to suggest something like that, I did get the files he wants me to convert. After taking a look at the Intel HEX format. I can do it how ever, I suggested that maybe he'd try an existing tool first before I whip up this GUI based app. :)

I've never had to split up HEX files before, other wise, i would have already had a tool created :)

Doesn't the programmer's manufacturer provide a utility to do this? You'd think it would.

Some manufacturer will include this function! Dataman will do this, my programming tool , doesn't let me do this!

Have you successfully converted the files or do you still need help?

It's not that hard to write, especially for a one-off use when you may choose to dispense with the error checking that would otherwise expand it in size by several times.

Regardless, you're not the first to need something like this. A nice set of tools is available at

My Sunshine Expro-60 has a bunch of utilities that can do this.

you can do it with excel there are bin hex and octal conversion functions such as bin2hex and hex2bin there are parsing functions such as substr and mid there is a concantination operator "&" that will allow you to paste the bytes back together after swapping them.

Should be an easy program to write just using excel functions, but, if necessary, you can dip into visual basic which is the macro language used by excel.

Hi, I am looking for similar tool. Did you find a solution?

YA

Idiot google grouper.

The article to which you replied was written twelve (12) years ago.

Yaseen, there are DOS based programs for binary/Hex file splitting with respect to EPROM programming. Can't recall the name but a bit of searching should lead to the answer. This was talked to death back in the late 90s and early 00s, so you should be able to track it down.

Thanks John, Yes you are right, I can find DOS based programs. Unfortunately I am limited to the option of using WINDOWS only. I did find a programming by python tool

You can run DOS BOX in a Windows machine...

I use it on XP for running my old Data I/O DOS only program.
