Why ask us?
Make a copy of a .exe, load that in your Hex Editor, then delete away and try to run the copy.
Do let us know how it goes.:)

ya well the code doesnt run...ok anyways can you help me with this

I have been converting a file into its hex value.But cannot convert it back into same exe value

Let me get in detail

Here is the code

Imports System.IO
Sub Main()

 

        Dim fileName As String = "ABC.exe"

 

        Dim data As Byte() = File.ReadAllBytes(fileName)

 

        Dim fs As FileStream = File.OpenWrite(fileName & ".txt")

        Dim sw As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(fs)

 

        Dim pos As Integer = 0

        Dim line As Integer = 0

 

        While pos < data.Length

            sw.Write(String.Format("{0}:", line.ToString("0000")))

 

            For i As Integer = 1 To 20

                sw.Write(String.Format(" {0:x2}", data(pos)))

                pos += 1

                If pos = data.Length Then

                    Exit For

                End If

            Next

 

            sw.WriteLine()

            line += 1

        End While

 

        sw.Flush()

        sw.Close()

        fs.Close()

    End Sub

Now,When i call the main method an text file called ABC.exe.txt is generated.

First of all instead of ABC.exe.txt can we have ABC.txt only

and secondly can how can i convert this hex values back to exe.. at least compile it in vb or any other language

Thank you for your time
