Hi Guys

I am trying to write a script that reads in a constant stream of HEX lines and writes them out to screen in a (sort of) ascii table

IDENTIER|  8 sets of HEX bits   |

As it is streaming data I need to keep the identifier static and just update the bits as they come in. The data comes through like this: 
12345678:123 0CFFE000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
87654321:321 18FEF501 00 FF 32 C4 FF 00 00 00
43215678:132 0C11FF00 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF
12348765:312 18FFE100 23 E0 C1 0E FF 00 AC 00
43218765:112 00000000 01 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF
12345678:123 0CFFE000 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
87654321:321 18FEF501 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
43215678:132 0C11FF00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
12348765:312 18FFE100 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
43218765:112 00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
12345678:123 0CFFE000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Unfortuantely I have no idea how to handle constant data input. Would someone mind helping as I cannot find examples online either

Thanks

Jim
