    Data to Text:

    Do any of you know of software that will convert data files into text files? In other words a file .dat into .txt

    Windows Explorer. Highlight the file, hit f2, type in the new name with the new extension.

      I don't mean to rename the extension. I mean to take a file that has been saved as a data file and convert it into a readable text file.

        the dat filename can have any type of format.. simply opening it in notepad or something wont neccessarily make it readable..

          I have done a search and I cannot find any software to covert .dat files into readable text, so I guess it doesn't exist.

            What kind of data is in the dat files? You can store anything in a dat file, including standard text.

              Text is in the .dat files but int a word processor it does not come out as readable text.
