Byte Pattern Search

01 / Tool workbench

Use the runtime only when it is actually ready.

The application shell fails closed. An input interface is not enabled merely because a WordPress Tool record exists; the declared engine must be registered in the current build.

Byte Pattern Search

BROWSER LOCAL

Checking whether the declared runtime module is loaded. No input has been processed.

Session change summary

No output has been built in this session.

What this analysis tool does

Search a local binary file for an exact hexadecimal byte pattern with optional ?? wildcard bytes.

Input and analysis contract

Patterns are limited to 128 bytes, must include at least one exact byte, and results are capped at 5,000 offsets. Files are limited to 8 MiB. Matching byte offsets and the effective pattern length.

Important interpretation limits

Wildcard matches are byte-level only. This utility does not understand structures, pointer references, checksums, or game semantics.

SaveEditor.com performs this Phase 18 analysis locally in the browser. Generic binary measurements are kept separate from game-specific claims: the tool reports observable bytes and statistics, but does not invent a save-format interpretation.

02 / Compatibility

Know the supported input before opening a file.

Compatibility fields are intentionally explicit. Missing values stay unclaimed rather than being filled with generic assumptions.

Accepted extensions

No extension list is recorded.

Platforms

No platform assignment is recorded.

Supported versions / editions

Modern evergreen browsers with JavaScript, TypedArray, DataView, File.arrayBuffer(), and BigInt support. Each selected file is capped at 8 MiB in Phase 18.

Input constraints

Patterns are limited to 128 bytes, must include at least one exact byte, and results are capped at 5,000 offsets. Files are limited to 8 MiB.

Known limitations

Wildcard matches are byte-level only. This utility does not understand structures, pointer references, checksums, or game semantics.

Output / result

Matching byte offsets and the effective pattern length.

03 / Instructions

Use an explicit conversion workflow.

General utilities operate only on the value and options you provide. No game format is inferred behind the scenes.

01Choose the format
Confirm the expected base, encoding, width, precision, or time unit before conversion.
02Enter the value
Use only the syntax documented in the compatibility and input sections.
03Convert locally
Run the verified browser engine and review any validation message instead of forcing rejected input.
04Verify the result
Check the output format before copying it into another file, tool, or workflow.

Tool-specific steps

Enter hexadecimal byte pairs such as DE AD BE EF or DE AD ?? EF, choose a file, and select Search bytes.

04 / Privacy and processing

The processing mode is part of the product contract.

SaveEditor.com should state local processing only when the implementation truly keeps file contents in the browser. Server or hybrid processing must be disclosed just as clearly.

Declared mode

Browser local

Runtime state

Operational

Tool-specific privacy notes

The Phase 18 analysis runtime performs no network requests. Files are read only after explicit user selection, buffered in browser memory, capped at 8 MiB each, and never uploaded by this engine. Detailed rendered output is separately capped to avoid unbounded DOM growth.

05 / Troubleshooting

Rejected input is a validation signal.

The converter fails closed on invalid digits, malformed byte sequences, ambiguous date input, unsupported widths, and values beyond documented bounds.

Wrong syntax

Confirm the selected base, encoding, byte grouping, or numeric form matches the documented input contract.

Out of bounds

Reduce the input size or choose a supported bit width instead of relying on implicit truncation.

Ambiguous interpretation

Specify the intended width, precision, or timezone explicitly when those details change the result.

Known Tool issues

If the pattern is rejected, use complete byte pairs and ?? for wildcards. If there are too many matches, add more exact bytes.

06 / Verification

Support claims should be traceable.

The verification date, method notes, and public references are kept separate from marketing language so compatibility can be reviewed over time.

Method notes

Verified against the deterministic Phase 18 file-analysis suite in tests/phase18-analysis-core.test.js and docs/qa/phase18-analysis-vectors.json. Coverage includes bounded binary rendering, file diffing, wildcard byte search, numeric encoding/search, ASCII and UTF-16LE string extraction, magic-byte signatures, Shannon entropy, and generic analyzer observations.

07 / FAQ

Questions to answer before editing.

These answers are generated from the Tool record and current runtime state rather than generic compatibility promises.

Is Byte Pattern Search ready to use?

The Tool record is verified and declares an operational runtime. The page enables its input controls only when the declared engine module is loaded in the current build.

Does processing stay in the browser?

Yes for this declared mode. The loaded runtime processes the explicit input in the browser; Tool-specific privacy notes describe the exact scope and limits.

Does this utility change my source value?

No source data is modified by the converter. It calculates a result from the value and options you explicitly provide.

What if my input is rejected?

Use the validation message to correct the base, encoding, width, timezone, byte alignment, or size. The runtime does not guess through invalid input.
