There are (today rather unusual) meanings of "text file" as containing compiled code (calling a relocatible object file before linking "text" was the IBM speak of the seventies) and if you are using the term this way you will have to use a linker. The latter is just two representations of the same thing - tabular data - but the former are simply different types of contents. So there is no "conversion" between the two, like "convert CSV to Excel format". What a "binary file" and what a "text file" is is primarily determined by the files contents. Im wondering how I can convert a binary file to a text file? Is there a way I can convert this to a text file?Įdit by bakunin: please use CODE-tags not only for code but also for terminal output and file contents.
