in thread Computing the percentage of certain characters in a file

yes it works great, and actually, it seems HxD rounds to the nearest thousandth. now i am computing 10.4279696941376 % while hxd is computing 10.43 %

Also the tr/\xff// method is ALOT faster so thank you for sharing that little bit of info :)
