1. Menu *File* → *Open* → *File*
2. Select the file to be opened
3. On the open file dialog at the bottom there is a down arrow on the &quot;Open&quot; button
4. Click &quot;Open With...&quot;
5. Click &quot;Binary Editor&quot;
6. Click &lt;kbd&gt;OK&lt;/kbd&gt;

Or for the keyboard geeks out there:

1. &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt; + &lt;kbd&gt;o&lt;/kbd&gt;
2. &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt; + &lt;kbd&gt;v&lt;/kbd&gt; (paste filename)
3. &lt;kbd&gt;tab&lt;/kbd&gt;
4. &lt;kbd&gt;tab&lt;/kbd&gt;
5. &lt;kbd&gt;↓&lt;/kbd&gt;
6. &lt;kbd&gt;w&lt;/kbd&gt;
7. &lt;kbd&gt;b&lt;/kbd&gt;
8. &lt;kbd&gt;Enter&lt;/kbd&gt;



In addition to [Kevin&#39;s answer][1], with Visual Studio 2017 you need to have the **Visual Studio C++ Core Features** component installed.

I&#39;m building a web app that should play back an RTSP/RTP stream from a server &lt;strike&gt;http://lscube.org/projects/feng&lt;/strike&gt;.

Does the HTML5 video/audio tag support the rtsp or rtp? If not, what would the easiest solution be? Perhaps drop down to a VLC plugin or something like that.

I’ve got a lot of plugins enabled when using Vim – I have collected plugins over the years.  I’m a bit fed up with how long Vim takes to start now, so I’d like to profile its startup and see which of the many plugins I have are responsible.

Is there any way to profile Vim’s startup or script-running?  Ideally I’d like to know how long Vim spends in each Vim script it loads.

I want to edit a binary file, but I don&#39;t want to use another tool other than Visual Studio because it&#39;s a pain to switch back and forth.  

Is there perhaps an add-in or some built in functionality that can do that in Visual Studio?

Suppose I have this function:

    {
       //do some string processing 
       std::string newString = Func2(myString)
       return newString;

how do I set a conditional break when `newString` has a specific value ?  (without changing the source)

In the Visual Studio **editor** when you pull the **scroll bar** down to the bottom of the file, all you see is a **blank page**, since the text has scrolled up past the **top** of the text editor window. This makes scrolling to the bottom **difficult** because you can&#39;t just pull the scroll bar quickly all the way down but have to *carefully* position the cursor so you can still see your code.

**How can I make it so that, as in NotePad, when I pull the scroll bar down to the bottom of the file, I see the bottom of the file?**

Often when I want to search through my code in Visual Studio, I know the thing I&#39;m looking for is in some C# code. However, as I&#39;ve used the same variable name in a JavaScript file, I have to wade through all those search results too. This gets even worse when the text I&#39;m looking for is also used in a third-party JavaScript library that we&#39;ve brought into the project: this can result in hundreds of search results.

To compound things, our designers include HTML mock-ups of the pages in the same project, so I often find I&#39;m hitting loads of search results in there too.

I guess what I really want is to see results in my .cs, .aspx, and .ascx files, but not .js or .htm.

Is there any way to do any of the following:

- Search only in files of a particular type (search only .cs files).
- Search only in files of any of a given set of types (search only .cs, .aspx and .ascx files).
- Search in all file types except a particular type or types (search everything except .js).

I suspect not, in which case is there any crafty way of working around this?

This is a probably an embarasing question as no doubt the answer is blindingly obvious.

I&#39;ve used Visual Studio for years, but this is the first time I&#39;ve done any &#39;Console Application&#39; development.

When I run my application the console window pops up, the program output appears and then the window closes as the application exits.

Is there a way to either keep it open until I have checked the output, or view the results after the window has closed?

I like the feature in Visual Studio for formatting an HTML document (&lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;, &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;D&lt;/kbd&gt;).

I&#39;m a C# developer who has just recently decided to expand my knowledge of the tools available to me.  The first tool I&#39;ve decided to learn is Vi/Vim.  Everything has been going well so far, but there are a couple of questions I can&#39;t seem to find the answer to:

1. Lets say I wanted to yank a range of lines.  I know there are many ways of doing so, but I would like to do it by line number.  I figured it would be similar to how the substitute commands work, something like `81,91y`.  Is there a way to do this?

2. I&#39;m a little confused about the `g` command in normal mode.  It seems to do a myriad of things and I can&#39;t really determine what the g command does at its core.  I&#39;m confused on whether or not it&#39;s a motion command or a kind of &quot;catch all&quot; for other commands ran through normal mode.  Can someone please explain this or point me to a reference that gives a good explanation of the `g` command?

 * Do I have to do something to tell Git whether some files are binary (like in Subversion)? Or, can Git handle binary data automatically?
 * If I change the binary file, so that I have 100 binary revisions, will git just store all 100 versions individually in the repository?
 * What are submodules for with git? 


How does Git deal with binary files?

Why should we distinguish between text file and binary files when transmitting them? Why there are some channels designed only for textual data? At the bottom level, they are all bits.

difference between text file and binary file

Working on a Fedora Constantine box. I am looking to `diff` two directories recursively to check for source changes. Due to the setup of the project (prior to my own engagement with said project! *sigh*), the directories contain both source and binaries, as well as large binary datasets. While diffing eventually works on these directories, it would take perhaps twenty seconds if I could ignore the binary files.

As far as I understand, diff does not have an &#39;ignore binary file&#39; mode, but does have an ignore argument which will ignore regular expression **within** a file. I don&#39;t know what to write there to ignore binary files, regardless of extension.

I&#39;m using the following command, but it does not ignore binary files. Does anyone know how to modify this command to do this?

    diff -rq dir1 dir2

diff a directory recursively, ignoring all binary files

My Express app is receiving a base64-encoded PNG from the browser (generated from canvas with toDataURL() ) and writing it to a file. But the file isn&#39;t a valid image file, and the &quot;file&quot; utility simply identifies it as &quot;data&quot;.

    var body = req.rawBody,
      base64Data = body.replace(/^data:image\/png;base64,/,&quot;&quot;),
      binaryData = new Buffer(base64Data, &#39;base64&#39;).toString(&#39;binary&#39;);
    
    require(&quot;fs&quot;).writeFile(&quot;out.png&quot;, binaryData, &quot;binary&quot;, function(err) {
      console.log(err); // writes out file without error, but it&#39;s not a valid image
    });

How can I save a base64-encoded image to disk?

I have this binary file on my Linux system...

     udit@udit-Dabba ~ $ cat file.enc
     Salted__s�bO��&lt;0�F���Jw!���]�:`C�LKȆ�l

Using the hexdump command, I see its information like this:

     udit@udit-Dabba ~ $ hexdump -C file.enc
     00000000  53 61 6c 74 65 64 5f 5f  1b 73 a1 62 4f 15 be f6  |Salted__.s.bO...|
     00000010  3c 30 cc 46 ee 10 13 11  84 bf 4a 77 21 a4 84 99  |&lt;0.F......Jw!...|
     00000020  0e 5d ef 11 18 3a 60 43  a0 4c 4b 1e c8 86 e6 6c  |.]...:`C.LK....l|
     00000030

Now I am given a file on some other system whose contents are like this:

     53 61 6c 74 65 64 5f 5f  1b 73 a1 62 4f 15 be f6
     3c 30 cc 46 ee 10 13 11  84 bf 4a 77 21 a4 84 99
     0e 5d ef 11 18 3a 60 43  a0 4c 4b 1e c8 86 e6 6c

And I need to find out that same exact binary information from this hexdump.

How can I proceed for that?

If there isn&#39;t any switch for that then C code will also work fine.

(But a Linux command with some switch is preferable)

**Limitation:**

The binary information in the file is output of an encryption algorithm, so contents should exactly match...
