| Subject: | Hexadecimal offset that use capital letters (A-F) do not parse. |
I have discovered a small bug in File::MMagic -- when lines are read
from magic file, hexadecimal offsets that use capital letters are not
matched. For instance, my magic file contains the following line:
0x1FE leshort 0xAA55 x86 boot sector
Originally, this produced this error:
Bad Offset/Type at line 1988. '0x1FE leshort 0xAA55 x86
boot sector
'
This will do the trick:
