I have a .lua file from an old 2000s game. I tried opening it with Hex editors, and it gives me the header of "LuaP"? Trying to open it in Notepad does give me a few rows of readable text, but the rest of it is garbled characters.

Is this Lua file encrypted? And if so, what do I use to decrypt it? And if it's not, then what is a more appropriate tool to use to read the contents of the Lua file?

I'm struggling to look for a way to convert an epub file into a txt file using ebook-convert cli, not as a whole, but I need to convert only one certain page.
I'm reading the official document, but I can't see any option which enables you to pick up one page from epub file and generate txt file from it.
If you shed some lights on it, I would appreciate it.
I'm new at web development and css,
One simple question came into my mind...
I know how to create a css file, but I'm not sure save this Encoding file as ANSI or UTF-8 when I save the file using Notepad?
I'm not sure which one is the best choice.
I searched on the internet, but I didn't find something helpful.
I want to know which one is the best choice for saving the file as css that will not be a problem in the future.
Please take a look at the attach image
Thanks for your helps.
Aattch01, when save a file using windows Notepad
I recommend you save in UTF8
pos if in a futuri your css has characters like
áéíóúñäëïöü, and others more than ANSI would only show an error.
A site where you can find those characters for example is in a content of a pseudelement like:
.menu .spain:after{
content:"España";
}
result UTF8: "España"
result ANSI: "Espa[]a"
Also recommend you to use an editor that gives you more comforts like Atom, which is very simple to use.
Although you may be afraid of it, is a simple editor with many aids to program
I imported a CSV file containing Unicode into an SQLite database but instead of seeing the text, all that I see are question marks. Like this, "???". The encoding is UTF-8 (I've mentioned below what happened when I tried UTF-16). The SQLite manager I'm using is DB Browser for SQLite.
This is the Unicode that I typed: தமிழ்
Now, according to this answer in Stackoverflow, SQLite stores text data as Unicode. So the fact that my text is Unicode can't be the problem.
The characters I'm trying to use belong the language Tamil. I'm trying to use it with Unicode. According to Wikipedia, encoding for Tamil is called TACE16. It's a 16-bit Unicode based character encoding.
So then I set the encoding as UTF-16 when I imported the CSV file. But the file doesn't even show up in the database after importing when I do that. But it says import is successful.
Then I tried importing the CSV file with UTF-8 encoding as usual. But after importing I right clicked the row header, selected "Set Encoding" and set it to UTF-16. Now it didn't show question marks but it shows something like Chinese characters. This is what it shows now: 㼿㼿.
I tried setting TACE16 while importing. I also tried setting it manually. But it said it's either an incorrect encoding or it is not supported.
Further searching online didn't turn up anything. Could someone tell me how I can fix this issue? Basically, I want this text "தமிழ்" to show in the SQLite database after importing the CSV file which has the text.
Thank you so much. I would really appreciate your help.
I had similar issue once but in my case the problem were only on the DB software I used to visualize DB tables. Have you tried to retrieve your data from the database? Are they right when you retrieve them?
Anyways if you tell us what tools are you exactly using for doing what it is impossible to find a solution in your specific case.
OK, it turns out the issue was my csv file. I edited it in excel and I guess excel saved it using another encoding. I'm still not sure what's the exact issue but I'll just write about how I fixed it.
I opened Notepad and typed out the data separated by commas. I saved the file with the extensions csv. Here's the important thing. You have to change the encoding to Unicode. There's a drop down menu just left of the save button. Use that. Here's a link to a youtube video that shows you how.
Also, you don't need to type everything in a Notepad. It can get tedious.
Type everything out in Google Spreadsheets and export download it as a CVS file. It works. If you have to use Notepad, type the data in excel, concatenate everything in each row with using a formula, and copy paste it into a notepad. Don't forget to add a comma between each cell info using the formula in excel.
I'm trying to transfer a file using a QTcpSocket. The connection runs fine, but my problem is when I try to record the received bytes on a file. When I open the file there are some strange characters at the beginning of the file. What are these characters?
My problem was that I was saving the whole object in my file. When we use the operator >> in a stream, the Qt serializes the whole object and sends it. If you want write only the bytes of your file, or whatever you want, you need to use writeRawData or the write methods passing the char * for the bytes.
:)
They probably are describing the encoding of the file's text. Such as UTF-8 v. ISO### standards. If you take the block of text and set it to the proper encoding, those characters will most likely disappear.
Here is starting place to learn about it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_and_HTML
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qstring.html#toUtf8
Hope that helps.
I found a link (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Transformations) that says that i need to create a file named my-transformers-context.xml and put my configurations there to convert RTF to PDF...
There says that some configuration are already configured but this one (RTF to PDF) and some others (DOC to PDF) are not.
By the way i couldn't find how to create this xml with the right configuration to convert the RTF file into a PDF...
Someone already done something like this? or someone know a link that explain how to configure this xml file?
PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!
I don't know if there is a way to say that i've solved the problem... But here it goes the solution...
I saw what Gagravarr said and started looking for configuration of openoffice into alfresco...
There is a file named:
alfresco-global.properties
and there is two variables named:
ooo.exe
and
ooo.enabled
the first one must indicate the path to sopenoffice.exe
and the second one must be equal to true...
ooo.enabled = true
That solve a lot of problema to convert some kind of file to another... like RTF to PDF...
Out of the box, Alfresco should be able to transform a RTF file to a PDF using OpenOffice (direct or JodConverter, depending on if you're on Community or Enterprise)
Assuming you're on a new enough Alfresco, this webscript will tell you what transformations are available from and to RTF:
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/mimetypes?mimetype=application/rtf#application/rtf
If that doesn't show you RTF -> PDF, then you need to look at your open office configuration/setup
