I have a task at hand, read a database that was created with HTML-OS, i assume the format is DB4 or DB5. the task is to open and parse this database in a c# application…it can be ASP.NET or WinForms…bottom line is i need to extract this indexed data. below is a small sample of what it looks like when i open the file with notepad:

dbtype 3.046 = 0 T ¨j

I have some ideas on parsing with possibly using RegEx but i would like to see some ideas or a real way of reading this file would be even better!

Thank you in advance!

    It looks like the database format is partially defined on their site:
    The HTML/OS Database (PDF)

    If possible I’d look at using their HTML/OS language to export it, rather than trying to reverse-engineer the database format.
