Convert targa image data to text
I have a 2 GB txt extension file. If I would like to search with grep for a row e.g.
Code:
$: grep automobile /media/root/WD_Passport/raw_info_251015.txt $ file /media/root/WD_Passport/raw_info_251015.txt /media/root/WD_Passport/raw_info_251015.txt: Targa image data - RGB - RLE 10 Is it possible to convert this file to a simple txt file somehow? Thank you in advance. |
No, a Targa image file is in a nutshell is a graphics file not text. Can you provide more information about how the file was created?

Thank you very much.
I just downloaded from a site as a text. So it is not a text...:( |
Some downloaders/filters choke on strange extensions, so sometimes the file is (temporarily) 'named' .txt ... Names are convenient for humans, but not always accurate ...
An old trick to get an MSWin user to download a virus was to add a 2nd extension eg a.exe.txt; hence a lot of modern filters refuse double extension files. |
