Any idea what database that could be ?

I have a client with some old program running on his computer.We need to export some data but his program is not capable of doing that so i need to do that manually from his database files.I can not open this files with any program i tried.This is the file opened with notepad:
It should be some column based file and anything i need is in similar file.The real file is much bigger but with same structure.I can regonize some data fileds between all the strange simbols but this is not enough.Any ideas ?

At least you seem to have Field Names

The way data is stored will probably be in variable length records with keys / indexes linking the records and fields - this is a nasty challenge to deal with - probably impossible (unless you are stuck on the Moon and its the only way to get back)

There must be some reports you can run (possibly a few to get the info you want), and direct the output to a file as text, rather than directly to the printer (look at Windows Printer Properties)

There are various tools referred to a "screen scraping" tools which can read info from the screen an create text output from this.

This would be the last way I would try to use as it is more complex and may require the purchase of a special tool.

Lastly - how is it that the people have no idea what system they are using ?
Does no one support them - is the company finished - what was the company called ?

Get a snippet of info and Google it - you may be surprised what turns up. While the company no longer exists, there may be other companies still supporting this type of database.

The manufacturer exists, but won't cooperate. Do not ask why! :)
I thought about the idea with text file from the LPT port.Will try that perhaps.Ty.

Another tip is to use a Hex Editor to open files like the one you posted -rather than using Notepad or similar. (which stops reading when it hits unrecognisable characters)

With a hex editor you always get to see the whole file which may give you more clues on extracting the data - and also perhaps finding out the real name of the database maker.

Search for a hex editor in Google - I found a free one years ago - I'm sure you can find one too.

Thanks a lot.I will try with HEX editor.i think i have one in my archives.
