Convert large amount of code to data in IDA


Well, Unfortunately I hit 'C' on a data section of a binary i had worked a lot on and saved it as i had a lot of work unsaved. I tried converting this huge section back to data but whenever i select lines and press 'D', only the line where the cursor was gets converted to data.

So, My question is, How do i mark/convert a large amount of data to code in IDA (specifically 6.1)

(The target architecture is ARM if that matters).


Solution

  • D is to define a single data. You can go to the first instruction and use U for Undefine. It will remove more code than "Convert to data".
