OT but I need traffic. I need a utility to extract some text out of a compiled program.

We use something called clipper. And I need to extract its "Timecode". I can highlight it in NT but I cant copy and paste. The stupid program doesnt allow it. I had a good look at the program output and was wondering if I could find something that could extract text from that file and route it to another file.

thanks

I got the text to extract.. now to find if i can extract the timecode (start/stop/duration) etc etc.

These files are .rtr - damn software manufacturer doesnt provide much to do with.
 

C'mon. Get with the program and learn to read binary machine code already... Jeez.

j/k;) Good luck.

Get a good shareware DOS text reader, like LIST.COM, and read the file from the command line. LIST allows you to highlight any part of the program and print it or copy it to a separate file. :)

Never mind.. i conned the company into divulging into that portion of the source code. They are sending it to me so I can look at it and write my timecode extractor.

Woohoo.

Thansk guys.
