Task at hand:
I'd like to take the dat file that tele-arena writes, and get the user
data out of it, so i can use it for things like, a scoreboard, or just
for my own information as sysop.
Issue:
No freakin clue how to read the .dat file.
The file is obviously binary, and not text. I'd like to find a way to
export its data to something like a CSV, which i can then parse with my
language of choice.
Now, its been suggested to me that this is a btrieve datafile, but i
have not had any luck using novell btrieve utilities to view the file.
Question:
All that being said, i guess my first question is:
Is this file really a btrieve data file?
and if so, How can i export its data?
Thanks!
