I feel like I've tried everthing..
I have a file saved by some proprietary software. I would like to create my own file compatible with the software so I reached out to the developer.
The developer of this software stated that the saved file was created using google protocol buffers, but was unable to comprehend my request for the .proto file used. He also insisted that it was google protobuf that was used, and doesn't want to help me any further.
I've tried a few deoce tehniques found online but nothing seems to be reading any data from the file.
Can anyone help me open and edit this file?

Any help in the drection of doing this would be greatly appreciated.

How to parse a OFX (Version 1.0.2) file in PHP?
I am not a developer. What easy tool can I use to make this code run with no code skill or appetence ? web browser is pretty hard to use for non dev guys.
I need this to use the file into Power BI, which accept M code, json source or xml, but not sgml ofx or PHP.
Thanks in advance
Welcome Didier to StackOverflow!
I'm going to try and give you a clue how I'd approach the problem here. But keep in mind that your question really lacks details for us to help you, and I'm asking to update your question with example data that you want to integrate into PowerBI. Also, I'm not too familiar with PowerBI nor PHP, and won't go into making that PHP code you linked run for you.
Rather, I'd suggest to convert your OFX file into XML, and then use PowerBI's XML import on that converted file.
From your linked question, I get that your OFX file is in SGML format. There's a program specifically designed to convert SGML into XML (which is just a restricted form of SGML) called osx. I've detailed how to install it on Linux and Mac OS in another question related to SGML-to-XML down-converting; if you're on Windows, you may have luck by just downloading a really ancient (32bit) version of it from ftp://ftp.jclark.com/pub/sp/win32/sp1_3_4.zip. Alternatively, you can use my sgmljs.net software as explained in Converting HTML to XML though that tutorial is really about the much more complex task of converting HTML to XML/XHTML and will probably confuse you.
Anyway, if you manage to install osx, running it on your OFX file (which I assume to have the name yourfile.ofx just for illustration) is just a matter of invoking (on the Windows or Linux/Mac OS command line):
osx yourfile.ofx > yourfile.xml
to result in yourfile.xml which you can attempt to load with PowerBI.
Chances are your OFX file has additional text at the beginning (lines like XYZ:0001 that come before <ofx>). In that case, you can just remove those lines using a text editor before invoking osx on it. Maybe you also need a .dtd file or additional instructions at the top of the OFX file informing SGML about the grammar of your file; it's really difficult to say without seeing actual test data.
Before bothering with SGML and all that, however, I suggest to remove those first few lines in your OFX file (everything until the first < character) and check if PowerBI can already recognize your changed input file as XML (which, from other OFX example files, has a good chance of succeeding). Be sure to work on a copy of your original file rather than overwriting it. Then come back and update your question with your results and example data.
I'm new to this platform. I have no idea on this, Please help on this. When I started searching on this I have get only the online conversion tools. I need to do this in offline
Online tools are that I have used is
https://products.aspose.app/3d/conversion/obj-to-pdf
I want to convert the .glTF file or .obj file to .pdf. Any refers are available means please share.
I am trying to read the view angles from a Sentinel-2 image (L1C SAFE compact format) for executing an atmospheric correction algorithm. I can get those values by parsing the file MTD_TL.xml, but I am not able to get them through rasterio.
I have tried to access to those data using the xml:SENTINEL2 and the xml:VRT metadata domains, but I can only access to the values from the file MTD_MSIL1C.xml (the main metadata file).
The whole point of using rasterio is being able of using GDAL's virtual file system, as the images will be read from S3 buckets. Any alternatives for easily reading MTD_TL.xml through the virtual file system would be also valid (and really appreciated).
Thank you!!
I answer to myself.
I could not find how to get the values I require, but according to https://gdal.org/user/virtual_file_systems.html the function VSIFOpenL may be used for opening the file. After that, manual parsing will do the trick :)
Ps. I must read the documentation slowly.
I am looking for a simple sample/tutorial for how to upload a file using ftp for iOS. I am pretty new so it have to be simple without a million features.
Unfortunately there is no one line function call, which could do that. Answer by TDeBailleu is simple but require an external server with php support. I've found a source code which might be usefull to you. It doesn't have "a million features" but might be usefull if you are patient enough.
I am looking at some files generated in the early 90s. One of them seems to hold references to data packed in some binary format in a number of large files.
The first six bytes of the file are 0x42 0x4f 0x53 0x53 0x20 0x37 which spells BOSS 7.
My searches of various sources of file type information, including /usr/share/file/magic have not turned up anything. Does anyone know what software might have been used to generate files that start with these bytes? Any information on file layout would be great.
It looks like the file might have been generated by VisualWorks Smalltalk:
[BOSS 7.5]
Contains the Binary Object Streaming Service, which supports efficient storage and
retrieval of objects, including code, to and from files.
Note that for code storage, the parcel system now supercedes BOSS.
I tried to load the file using the IDE provided at http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/ and it generated a meaningful exception:
The identifier MediaCollectionDictionary has no binding
The file does contain:
MediaCollectionDictionary
MediaCollection*
CallMediaVehDict2
etc which means, if I could now figure out what the rest of the files do and learn enough SmallTalk, I could disentangle this mess.
Of course, I am not sure if this analysis is correct. So, please if you have any other ideas, let me know. Thank you.
Much later: So, my initial assessment seems to be correct. I got some useful tips on comp.lang.smalltalk: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.smalltalk/browse_thread/thread/5d55d857e2f80158#
