Reading data from an unknown file
Posted: Tue Jun 14, 2005 3:52 am
I guess this is the right place for this.
I want to extract some information contained in a file but I can't seem to read the contents. I have tried using a text editor 'Mac BBEdit' which can open most files and databases but BBEdit shows no contents. I also ran fopen($file,"r") on it to try and read it but nothing. The file is 1.7mb in size and has no dot notation.
Anyone any ideas of what best options I would have on how I might do this?
Thanks
