You need to use a vim add-on called xxd - it's in the vim-common package. Google for vim tips with "vim xxd" as the keywords. > is `bvi' a good alternative ? I wasn't familiar with bvi, but one thing I like about vim is that you can undo/redo your changes and test the results in another window. Not sure bvi supports that? As Ron said, this does not dispense you with making a backup. Another thing - if the string you want to modify is not plain ASCII, UTF-8, etc. vim could make it easier to locate/edit your string depending on the circumstances.
