I now use ImHex after looking for years for a good one. It has a pattern language to provide highlighting. https://imhex.werwolv.net/ https://imhex.werwolv.net

  I just found out about ImHex yesterday when I was trying to work out a save game format for an hold retro game. For my very basic needs it was great, and the diffing took came in very handy. Would be keen to see if I could make a pattern for the save game format somehow. Will be something I have to look into.

  ImHex has so many features. Very useful for ROM hacking, as it can display custom text table mappings. I haven't even looked into patterns and other features yet.

  I may take a look at it again. I tried it a few years ago as a free alternative to 010editor and it was a bit unstable. But I see it is under active development, so maybe the issues have been fixed.

  For macOS users, there's also native app Hex Fiend (open source) which also has a pattern language. https://hexfiend.com https://hexfiend.com HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2072899 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2072899 And if you don't mind paying, there's also "Synalyze It", which allows you to build the pattern language via the GUI: https://www.synalysis.net https://www.synalysis.net
