From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Reading .mcn files? (lemmy.world)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world to c/linux@lemmy.ml
 

Hello y'all,

I need to get some information out of a .mcn file that is used by the Cary WinUV program (for windows XP), I know the file contains the info we're looking for but it's not readable on a text editor as per screenshot (the same thing appears via OSS - code and cat). Same for Nano which gives me a lot of tiny amongi.

Cary WinUV for some reason doesn't display the information we want, who know what they were thinking.

Anyone know a way to read the characters missing?

EDIT: Thanks everyone, I solved by saving it into csv through Cary WinUV but that may not work for everyone so thanks for all the replies
