I’m using Windows Batch, but I also have ported copies of most all the Unix/Linux commands such as OD and DD. I’ve been Googling this for over an hour now, reading the man pages for both commands, reading questions on here, and on other sites and I’m no closer to a solution.
I have a file named TEST.BIN, It has the following line of bytes;
000001F0: 2E 69 64 61 74 61 00 00 A8 06 00 00 00 B0 00 00
1F0 equates to 496 in decimal, and 2E equates to 46 in decimal.
So I want to run a command and have it just output the number 46 by itself. Or whatever byte happens to be at position 496 in the file. No offset information or anything else. It can be displayed in either hex or decimal.
My attempts to follow examples and use OD result in numbers that don’t seem to correspond to anything in the file, and DD basically just tells me that every option I try to include is wrong, even when I copy and paste examples that supposedly do exactly what I’m trying to do.
I’ll be honest, I don’t understand the syntax for either command. The man pages seem like they’re written for people who are already intimately familiar with how Unix/Linux commands work.
