reghexprint - prints hex entries in windows 9x registry dumps as characters
reghexprint [-p] [-f] [-V] [reg-dump ...]
reghexprint scans a windows 9x registry dump (such as is produced by regedit or regdiff) for entries that are encoded in hex (i.e., ones preceded by hex:) and prints the bytes as characters. Non-printable characters are printed
as a question mark.
Useful when scanning a registry dump for file paths and the like - occasionally, these are encoded in hex fields and are therefore not readily noticed.
Print only the printable characters - non-printable characters are completely stripped.
Quite mode - only print hex entries that contain some printable characters.
Prints the version number - the program then exits immediately.
