i have a game that i play, and i want to edit the .dat files in that game to make a difference in the game. My question is how do i do this?
I have tried multiple things but i can't figure out how to make it work. I also have a couple of other files that have .ddf extentions. if anyone can help me i would appreciate it!
I have tried the following:
decode the .dat (Couldn't find out how)
The fact that this file is a .dat file extention does not mean you can edit it as text. The program may use this file as a binary file, which you cannot edit.

I need your help with this problem that I believe it could be solved with a batch file in powershell, I hope to be clear enough with my explanation.
I have a txt file (list.txt). In this file I have a list of more then hundred files name (company.doc, goods.xlx, prices.xls and so on).
Now I should search if these files are in disk L and the search result written a file named search.txt in this way:
company.doc FOUND L:\documents\december
goods.xls NOT FOUND
prices.xls FOUND L:\budget\2022
Thank you in advance for your help

I tried to search a solution but I could not find any working.
I have an .odt file that's corrupt. I looked online and apparently if you can get to the content.xml file, there's a chance the file can be repaired. However, in my case, when I convert the file to a .zip and extract it, I don't have that file. However, the .odt file is 2.9MB and has content in it when you convert it to a .txt file.
How can I recreate the content.xml file from the .txt file?
You might not want to hear this, but depending on where the corruption happened, there is nothing you can do.
The idea behind the method you are describing is that if the corruption only concerns, for example, the styles.xml, you can still recover the contents by looking at content.xml. For more details on this, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument_technical_specification#Format_internals
However, from your zip extract, it looks like the only uncorrupted file is styles.xml, which doesn't help you much.
What you can try to do is the following: Rename your .odt-File so that it ends in .zip, and then try to recover that file using one of the multitude of tools available on the internet, for example here, until you get a valid content.xml file.
At work we have been given a .cf7 file from a client and been expected to know how to access it's contents. We suspect it is some sort of database or accounting records file, most probably propriety, as it was contained in a folder called "books and records".
Has anyone dealt with .cf7 files before? Does anyone know how to use one such file? Opening it in a text editor reveals it is of a binary nature. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Try a product called Cashflow Manager. It also uses the .cf7 extension.
I am trying to create a batch file that works something like a watcher, here is what I am trying to do:
The batch keeps monitoring a .txt file for any modification.
Once the file has been modified by any reason, the batch file proceeds with its function.
The function can vary, either change/replace/delete a line of text inside the file or replace the actual .txt file with a previous clone of it.
After this it keeps monitoring, the cycle repeats itself to prevent the file from being modified.
I do not understand anything of batch, I have tried to find guides and ways of doing it but I am really confused so if anyone could help me with this (a guide explaining how to or the actual final batch) I would be very grateful.
Thank you for your time and patience!
Batch file article on Wikipedia will give you enough information to start understanding batch files.
There is a basic example with explanation that will be helpful getting started with running batch file.
Also take a look at the resources mentioned at the Stack Overflow Batch tag info
Once you know how to write batch files, look for commands that you will require to complete your task.
I have a little utility that converts .dbc files to .csv files, trouble is, somewhere in the conversion some data is lost/destroyed/whatever. I input a.dbc into converter, it produces a.csv. I delete a.dbc,and then run a.csv back through the converter, and I come back with a "slightly" different .dbc file then I had started with.
Does anyone know any better way of converting these files? Without loss of information..
I open both files in HexCMP (compares two hex files, show's you the differences) and the differences are totally random through out the file.
Sounds like this is nothing more than a buggy utility.
If you convert the same .dbc file to a .csv file twice in a row, do you get the exact same .csv file? If you run the .csv through twice do you get the same .dbc file out both times? That would at least tell you which side of the conversion the bugs are in.
Do you have access to FoxPro to export the file as a CSV directly from FoxPro without using the utility? That would allow you to compare the CSV file created from FoxPro versus your utility to try and narrow down where the problem is.
