ummm... can you be a little more specific? How is a raw data file different from a data file?

[srinivashwp]

we are having epax tele-exchange for 500 subscribers
There one flash memory containing the data of call data for
the subscribers that data named pmstx.DQ, i suppose it is raw data
If i open with notepad it showing some data which is converted to
data base
In the exchange manual it is mentioned that PMSTX.DQ file contains
call charge data

[WingedPanther]

Do you have any documentation on the format of the data?

[srinivashwp]

No document about that format
Shall i attach the file, it is only 1.5 mb

[Alexander]

You may not want to post it if it contains sensitive data of the calls that were made, however unless you can find the documentation of the specific format of the binary file, or a software to read this file then you have really no other options.

You could store it in a .zip, although it would be hard to guess even if we did have the file unless it contained any clues.

I've looked at the data with a text editor, but with no idea what data I should be finding, all I can really tell you is that it has regularly arranged data.

[srinivashwp]

is there any procedure to convert it to dbase or acess database

[WingedPanther]

Once the file structure is understood, yes. However, you're probably going to have to do a little bit of trial and error to accurately determine what that is. My best guess right now is that each "record" is a fixed number of bytes, with each "field" being a specific number of bytes at a particular offset in the record.
