        @Cyril-Di-Valentin ,

        “Export”? No. That plugin doesn’t have that feature.

        If you select everything (Ctrl+A for Edit > Select All) right click on the left (hex) side and choose Copy from the drop-down, then do Ctrl+N / File>New, and paste into that new tab, it will copy all the hex side as a space-separated list of two-nibble hex words (like 54 68 69 73 20 49 73 for This is). But it doesn’t have a mode where it puts the side-by-side hex dump on the clipboard or into an external file. It’s purpose is to edit the hex inside Notepad++, not as a way to permanently store the hex-side-by-side-with-the-text.

        For easily creating a new file with the output as side-by-side (similar to the GUI view that HexEdit plugin shows), there are plenty of binary-to-hex converters – two that I’ve recommended before: you can download xxd here; or you can get od and a bunch of other gnu/linux-like utilities here, where od -A x -x filename can give similar information to xxd’s default output

          Tanks a lot for your answer. I will try to use xxd as you mentonned.
          I can also use hexedit but the size of the file (dump file .bin) is too big for hexedit so that i don"t have the whole file…
          Therefore if you already used a similar application, I would be very interested in that.

          Thanks and have a good week.

          Cyril
