in reply to How to Read REP file

Hello,
Hi.
Please help me out to view entire details available at REP file.
Which details? What's a REP file?
While opening Rep at notepad lot of junk characters are coming along with ASCII characters.
Notepad is only useful for text files. The REP file probably isn't a text file, or it is a text file with a different encoding than notepad expects.
I request you please suggest me away to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance Vamsi.
We can help you with perl questions. We don't solve notepad issues.

See pack unpack binmode and perlopentut

Update: also How do I post a question effectively?

    REP file is a report file with .rep extension. On GUI interface reporting tools generates reports with .rep extensions. This file have all details about sql and other business rules in encrypted format. It is as similar as windows exe file. It will be very helpful for us to maintain documentation for next project. This is not problem with note pad or with text. Please suggest me how to deal with this issue. Thanks in advance

        Maybe he did a search on "REP" and Google said Did you mean "PERL"? ;-)
