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
It looks like it's in a binary format and is printing control characters because it isn't a format intended to be viewed/edited. You could try opening it in a hex editor and see if you can make any sense from that.
