Editing Datafile

Recommended Posts

I may be being thick (please tell me if i am) but i can't view the contents of the datafile.

I read the camera editing tutorial and it says "open the datafile.txt with your favourite text editor".

I assumed that notepad would open it as it is a .txt file and it does.

Unfortunately all i see is this :

ûCYí0xc38c638e 70 1;64 BAT_TIMEMOD;30 Contact_Parameters;19 Hoâower_Mod;8 Hiä;56 INSIDE_SPIN_VAL;T5éat_launch_angle;50 Vertical_bunt_zone;33 )àll_s"izá9 MAX_TOIP

8 Mˆ \48âfudgetime;45là_offE;2ãax_spin_RPM;16 BoáSpeed_MP1H;1ÂestÁ Î1

etc.

Do i need to change the font?

Do i need a different program?

Thanks

Simon

The datafile is in a compressed format so before you can edit it in a text editor, you need to uncompress it. Use a utility like eazip and issue the following command:

eazip -u datafile.txt

You will then be able to edit the file.

When you are done editing, compress the file again using the command:

eazip -c datafile.txt

You can find eazip on the Internet by simply googling for it.
