Now that we have a bunch of options for CERTUTIL -encodeHex formatting, I decided to completely redesign HEXDUMP to use CERTUTIL. The new HEXDUMP.BAT doesn't do anything that CERTUTIL can't already do, it just makes it much easier to use.
Pros compared to the old FC based version
- Much faster
- Ability to read stdin, so it can be used with pipes and redirection
- Ability to control line terminator in output: \r\n, \n, or none
- Ability to write Unicode output
- Simpler to control the output format
- No longer pure batch - I use a bit of JScript to read binary piped or redirected input.
- No longer able to dump a portion of a file, but this was rarely used before because large files were so slow.
- Not quite as much flexibility in the output format, but all the important features are still there.

:::
:::HEXDUMP [/Option [Value]]...
:::
::: Writes the content of stdin as hexadecimal to stdout, with 16 bytes per line,
::: using the following format:
:::
::: OOOOOOO XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
:::
::: where:
:::
::: 0000000 = the hexadecimal offset within the input
::: XX = the hexadecimal value of a byte
::: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA = the bytes as ASCII (control codes and non-ASCII as .)
:::
::: Output is encoded as ASCII, with each line terminated by CarriageReturn
::: LineFeed.
:::
::: The behavior can be modified by appending any combination of the following
::: options:
:::
::: /I InFile - Input from InFile instead of stdin
::: /O OutFile - Output to OutFile instead of stdout: - overwrites InFile
::: /NA - No ASCII
::: /NO - No Offsets
::: /R - Raw hexadecimal on a single line, with no space between bytes
::: /LF - LineFeed as line terminator instead of CarriageReturn LineFeed
::: /NL - No Line terminators, all output on one line without line terminator
::: /U - Unicode encoded output with BOM (UTF-16)
::: /V - Write version info to stdout
::: /? - Write this help to stdout

var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var out = fso.OpenTextFile(WScript.Arguments(0),2,true);
var chr;
while( !WScript.StdIn.AtEndOfStream ) {
chr=WScript.StdIn.Read(1000000);

}
For example, I need to output first 128 bytes of MBR sector in one line for checksum, how could I do it using /R option?
