Hello. I need to edit a setup or txt files in a program. Only problem is I can't read the characters. What type of editor would I need to be able to read and edit it?

Well, I don't exactly know what you are trying to do or why,
but from the sound of it you want a hex editor. Google it, there are a lot of freeware hex editors out there.

It will show you the coding in hexidecimal values.

I guess I should provide more information. I'm just doing a little experiment. With the network I'm using it blocks many things, as it should. The program that I want to edit is an online game that recieves its patch list from the net and won't start without it. So I created a proxy. Now I want to find the address the program uses to get the patch list and replace that with the same address after it has gone through the proxy.

And I'm not sure how to read the files. Not sure how to tell what language it's written in. And I tried a Hex Editor but I recived the same unreadable characters. And I'm sure that the site isn't withen the values. But thanks for the suggestion.
