I have some .dat and .idx files and one .sup file in a directory

  • 0

I have some .dat and .idx files and one .sup file in a directory , and i would like to know if there is any tool or .net programming tecnique to find out what type of database is?

I dont know if this could help, but if i open one .dat file as text file, i get this: 0~0904021846460509040218464605>ÀÀX2Ü

And the common part of all the .dat files, is the following string at the start 0~09040218.

Could you give me a hand? Thanks a lot. Kind Regards. Josema.

    Linux has a file command that uses a listing of magic numbers to try and id a file type. There’s a Win32 port – but I can’t vouch for it. Personally, I’d xfer it over to a Linux system and run it there.
