Looking at the 'quick bms guide' post viewtopic.php?f=29&t=3525
I am a beginner and im getting the hang of my HEX model exploration but this tutorial doesnt make logical sence and it seems like the conclusions reached are without proper explanation. This tutorial doesnt work for my model file, possibibly due to its multiple headers. My model file has a PAKS header then an IPAC header then a HRCM header and then repeated HRCM (hrcm being the start of the model file)

I just need a way to parse the files from one HRCM text string to the next, using quick BMS

I can manually select bookmark and extract data manually with Hexworkshop, but Its time consuming , I spent about 5 hours ripping 131 files yesterday that quickbms could have done in seconds.

I guess you mean something like the following, remember to replace the 2 occurrencies of "NGCA" with "HRCM":

Worked great Thank you, I can rename the .Dat files that are output ,but what would I add to get it to output a defined extension (.abc)?

the only way is building the name by hand:

Not sure what you mean by 'rebuilding by hand', this code outputs files as 00000000.dat, 0000000a.dat etc. It would be useful if i could define a prefix and the extension output. I used to have a mass renamer program that could change the extension, supid windows wont do it and I cant believe that BMS doesnt have a line of text to do it.

the script I pasted in my previous post dumps sequential files with abc extension, not dat.

Ah thankyou again , It didnt work the first time because i was using an ancient version of QuickBms
