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
Looks like a proprietary binary format. There’s an open tool to turn .bkn files (apparently also something that WinUV shits out) into text files, but I can’t find anything for .mcn files.
Based on the path in the file, the software seems to have been designed for Windows XP or earlier. There’s a good chance Wine will be able to run the software that reads these files so you can export them into CSV or some other usable format.
Won’t need wine, I have access to the computer that uses Cary winUV
In that case, try exporting the data in CSV form (or some other common format). I don’t think there’s anything to read this particular proprietary format.
