The bwrite command can be used to write a specified amount of bytes from the string/buffer to a given file starting at the start_pos position.

Synopsis

/bwrite <filename> <start_pos> [length] <text|%var|&binvar>
/bwrite -t <filename> <start_pos> [length] <text|%var>

Switches

• -t - Treats everything as plain text (i.e. binary variables are not evaluated)

Parameters

• <filename> - the file name to be modified
• <start_pos> - the position in the file to start writing at
• [length] - Length of the data to be written
• <text|%var|&binvar> - data to be written to the file
