I need a software for converting hex file to readable text

0

I need some suggestions for software that can convert corrupted database file (in hex format) to readable text in one line.

As you can see in the screenshot, I want that text in red box to be converted to text file, because I can't copy it from the current text editing software. enter image description here

It's already in plain text, there's nothing 'hex' here. Just open the file in Notepad, or if it's notably larger than the ~16KB in this screenshot grab Notepad++, and use regular ctrl-C from there.

Ctrl-F "WebkitDatabaseInfoTable", shift-Home, Del. – Niels Keurentjes – 2015-12-13T23:38:11.647

Yeah, it is there. But why Notepad++ shows that NUL NUL part but UltraEdit doesn't ? In UltraEdit it shows as a text. – rudolph – 2015-12-13T23:46:48.653

1The 'NUL' squares are just bytes containing 0, which cannot be part of a 'regular' text file, therefore UltraEdit decides to render it with the hex editor instead. Notepad and derivatives only have text mode, so they render it inline instead. Doesn't change that at some point in the file there is plain text content. – Niels Keurentjes – 2015-12-13T23:56:00.177
