I have a short JavaScript function which will take an uploaded file and display the hex equivalent of it. Comparing the original file and the output in a hex-editor shows that they are partially different but not completely.
String.prototype.hexEncode = function(){
var hex, i;
var result = "";
for (i = 0; i < this.length; i++) {
hex = this.charCodeAt(i).toString(16);
result += ("" + hex).slice(-4);
}
return result
}
function upload() {
var file = document.getElementById("fileToUpload").files[0];
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.readAsText(file, "windows-1252");
reader.onload = function (evt) {
var program = evt.target.result.hexEncode();
program = program;
console.log(program);
}
}
Here are the original file and the output next to each other:
2A 2A 54 49 38 33 46 2A 1A 0A 0A 43 72 65 61 74
2A 2A 54 49 38 33 46 2A 1A AA 43 72 65 61 74 65
What is causing the difference in outputs? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
