Help reading a file - HighFive - Jul 5, 2022
I need some help with reading file. I have information that file contains floats. Every float is 4bits and its binary_little_endian 1.0
For example this is a file oppened in txt:
Code
7ë?Vý˝‹ĺ”>˙†J˙l$í? źÔ=ć$ľ>˙†J˙(çî?Yý˝ć$ľ>˙†J˙'Šč?[ý˝"6?˙†J˙KÓć?[YČ="6?˙†J˙…?Ů?[ý˝fË$?˙†J˙4Ą×?ĄŰŞ=fË$?I know that first float is (1.8376168).
I have no idea how to correctly convert this.
Any suggestions?
It's ASCII characters so should I convert this first to HEX and then to float?
I always get some weird numbers and can't make it to work.

Yes you could convert the file to a readable byte string and then convert each 4 bytes to floats manually. Or use python to write a quick scripts to do this for you.
