8xp to text converter
« on: October 31, 2010, 05:08:53 pm »
Okay, I am looking for a PROGRAM (not online converter), that will convert 8xp files back into text. If I have to I will make one myself but I don't want to.

I don't think that exists/is possible.

I believe a few exist. Tokens for example is a project currently being developed by merthsoft right here at omnimaga.

EDIT: Didn't you just post in that thread a few days ago ScoutDavid? Lol :P

It is certainly possible, you just need to read the 8xp file and convert the hex into ASCII. I don't think there is any 8xp -> text converter software avilable now, but SourceCoder can do that online. Also, DocDE7 has a text -> DocDE file converter.

To expand on that, you can also use Tokenizer DE (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/430/43048.html) to make programs with DocDE7.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but this is what I use.
I wrote a batch file for it, once you extract everything from the zipfile, keep the folder structure intact and drag the .8xp program over the batchfile.  It outputs a file with a .tib extention, which is pretty much identical to a .txt, so just open it.
It doesn't handle lowercase at all, and returns gibberish instead (which is a pain).  But you can just delete the weirdness and insert your text (or optionally, find a way to automate the task - each lowercase returns the same gibberish each time).

Thanks Michael, that should work for now.

There's also this: http://tiforge.info/ti_editor/

I'M not sure if this is proper 8xp to text conversion, though. It's also in French. Not sure if it's any better than SourceCoder but it seems to have some cool features as well (Maybe I could get Kerm to add them to SC2)

TI's highly outdated GraphLink software has a program editor. It can convert to and from text.

I wonder if that old thing works under Windows 7 64 bit... I used it a lot back then, but I had XP. It was already pretty unstable as it was designed for Windows 95, 98 and NT 4.0.

I use TI's Program Editor for most of my program writing, and I'm running Windows 7 x64 :P

The problem is that I need to be able to have MY program read and write in the TI file format.

The TI variable format is pretty easy to read and write; the TI Link Guide found on ticalc.org has documentation on the format. The challenge will be tokenize/detokenize code, and generating the look-up table for the token's text.

Oh we meant the even older TI program editor built in TI-Graph Link, not the one that came with TI-Connect 1.5. The one we were talking about dates all the way back in 2001. I still have it on a CD that came with my TI-83 Plus Silver edition:



If I remember, it was a 16-bit application, which is why I was asking.

I just used it, it looks fantastic, really nice. Congratulations
