i have a binanry file with bytes 5e c9 c3 somewhere in the middle

i = data:find("\x5e\xc9\xc3")

this returns nil. what is wrong?

"\x5E" is "^" which has special meaning in Lua patterns (beginning of the string)

Either escape "^" it with "%" or use plain search mode
i = data:find("\x5e\xc9\xc3", 1, true)
