Regex hex search incorrect? #486

As you can see GrepWin finds a pair of matches of hexadecimal string: $0000536900... but there is no trace of that exact string in the file. Mmmh...

what it actually finds is also \x00\x00\x53\x49, because you also have 'search case-sensitive' unchecked. The case-insensitive search also affects the hex search.

Ah! I had that doubt in fact... Thank you.
