How to opend the "ntx" file generated by Lunar DPX enCORE? - medical

I got some "ntx" files downloaded from Lunar DPX enCORE containing bone density info. I don't know how to open and extract information from it.
I tried to open it with binary code and had no idea of their meaning.

Why won't my .stl file show the correct information in a text editor?

I am quite new to work working with .stl files and in my research, I found they can be opened in a text editor where faces and vertices were clearly written out and easy to read. However, whenever I download a .stl file and open it with a text editor, I get a series of random characters. The same thing happens when I take a .blend file and export it to a .stl file. In spite of this, the .stl files still render correctly. I have attached a picture of what my problem looks like. If anyone could help me out, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

How to fix a text file recognized as a binary file?

I recently moved some text files from my desktop to external hard drive.
I guess some of the files crashed, and they are recognized as binary files.
When I 'less' them, it says "may be a binary file. See it anyway?".
And when I 'file' them, they look as data files.
Has anybody fixed this problem?
Thank you.

How to find who created .png file and remove the author on MAC?

For security reasons, I want to have .png files without an author in the metadata.
How do I check who is the author of the .png file on Mac?
How do I remove the author on .png file on Mac?
I check for the information on Preview, but it only contains information like camera type, pixels, etc. but not the author.
Using exiftool in terminal, you can see all the metadata by running exiftool on the file (exiftool /path/to/file.png). You can remove the embedded metadata with the command exiftool -all= /path/to/file.png. Take note that some metadata are properties of the file and cannot be removed.

Image preprocessing in Python for OCR

I'm doing pre-processing of images for OCR in python. I converted the pdf to binary images. The output I get is like this
I want the ouput to be something like this
Any idea how to go about this?
You have to use Tesseract library for extracting text from given image.
I am using window system so I downloaded it from location https://sourceforge.net/projects/tesseract-ocr-alt/files/.
Suppose you have installed it at location "E:\w\Tesseract-OCR"
Then put your image at the same location. Lets call your image question.png
Now go to command prompt and give command,
E:\w\Tesseract-OCR>tesseract.exe question.png answer.txt
Where answer.txt is text file which Tesseract will create you can give any other name instead of answer.txt and question.txt is your file.
Once command is successfully executed check output in answer.txt.
In case of your image I got following output.
Investment Type: Customer Owned
System Information
Fire III
Video I]
So in this case it is recognizing only text correctly.

Zip file with .csv extention lost somewhere in filesystem

The file is also locked with winzip and I cant remember the name or directory, I hid it in a very obscure directory. Could be in the windows system files could be in a program directory file. I did a search for all .CSV files I have 4-5K to go through. Any suggestions on how this could be done?
I was opening up files in batches by highlighting a bunch that pressing edit with notepad plus plus. Than going through each one. I know once the file is opened in notepad plus it will not show any words. It is pictures. I own an eCommerce site and I have my master copies that I bought $X,XXX and did not want to take any chances in them be found and resold by other people on my network. Any suggestions?
Opening any zip file in a hex editor suggests that every zip file starts with a data of PK. We can use it in our favour. :)
Download this software: EditPad Pro
What this software does is, it recurses through the whole filesystem starting from a specified base folder to search for any string residing in any of the child files, they maybe Text or Binary, it treats them the same, thus giving accurate results.
In our case, it's a regex: ^PK
When you'll execute this search, the software will return all the files that start with data PK, make sure you do a casesensitive search.
