Plenty of hex dumpers do it, including "hd", which is installed by default (it's a symlink to "hexdump"). wooledg:~$ echo "how now brown cow" | hd 00000000 68 6f 77 20 6e 6f 77 20 62 72 6f 77 6e 20 63 6f |how now brown co| 00000010 77 0a |w.| 00000012 Of course, *searching* for a byte sequence in the result would require piping the output through a pager or an editor of some kind. I'm sure the OP will act kindly and calmly when someone tells him this, and won't yell at anyone or accuse us of not reading his demands.
