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

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.

Creating An XLSX .rels from scratch .rels file not working properly?

So right now i'm working on creating an xlsx from scratch. Ive decided to dive right into the zip and replicate it through code. I've literally just copied and pasted everything exactly the same just changed the data on the backend.
I've noticed a very weird bug that seems to break the xlsx file after repacking it as a zip.
when I wrote my .rels.xml file in the back end and open it up via Browser it seems to display .rels.xml as normal.
However After going back into the original .rels.xml file of the original xlsx it is displayed as plain text, and after copying the file to the folder theres no "Would you like to replace the file" prompt almost as if it was a completely different name. Lastly it seems copying this .rels.xml from the original over to my backend , the xlsx seems to want to actually open.
Any clues as to why this behavior occurs?
EDIT: Seems like the same thing happens to the workbook.xml in the xl/_rels directory. I really have no clue why it does this... i'm not sure if its just because of the odd naming senses or not...
Not really sure what you want to achieve. Why are you not using a library that can work with the xlsx files? It is not a good idea to manipulate the xml unless you are absolutely sure what you are doing. Anyway if you still want to try use Notepad++ as the editor might change the xml encoding without warninig you. Also when you zip back use 7-zip and choose "store" or "normal-deflate" zip.
edit: I see now that you edit the xmls through code. So forget about notepad but keep an eye on the encoding

UTF-8 BOM displaying symbols instead of text

Looks like this:
New to coding etc. and I'm trying to create a small mod for a game called Megaton Rainfall, I'm 90% sure the code I want to change/mod is in my scripts.fcm file but I can't figure out how to change it to readable text. I've switched the encoding to every different kind and it still remains unreadable. Please help if there is a way :) thanks!
Rather than opening in Notepad++ try opening in another text editor such as Vim, Sublime or Notepad. This should then be "readable text"

Corrupt Text File read/write/open

I have a large text file that I take notes in; Recently, after saving it, it won't open and gives following error. I tried a few things on web that didn't work---opening in different encoding format, etc. Nothing worked. Any idea how I can open it again? Is there a language I can use from bash? I'm very familiar with PHP. Any ideas? Different text editor?
Error:
"The document “ToDo.txt” could not be opened. Text encoding Unicode (UTF-8) isn’t applicable."
"The file may have been saved using a different text encoding, or it may not be a text file."
cat the file from the CLI and make sure your data is still there. Then you could simply copy and paste the output into a new file and hopefully get rid of whatever weird encodings are causing that text editor to not read the file.

How to add ton of text (using TextView) to content (Android studio)?

I'm just started to programming in android studio and need to add a ton of text, but if I just paste all the text in the text field of the TextView component, then I get a mess. Tried to insert in the code of .xml, correcting paragraphs, but all the same it turns out not that. Therefore, several questions arose:
What is the most correct way to add a ton of text to the content? (Please refer to the details)
How can I make the text inserted correctly, with paragraphs, etc.? (Ie so that they are observed)?
All of this question's about ton of text.
Thank you very much in advance!
You can add all your text in a .doc file, format it in the way you want, then in your code, you load this file and output it to your TextView.
You need to make sure you import this file as an asset in your project or either load it from the device storage.
Please check this SO post: How to read .doc file?

Convert Text File From Unreadable Text to Readable Text

I'm trying to get this text file back to well readable text but I can't seem to find the encoding, it's for an Android application here is the one I'm trying to convert http://ge.tt/53SmHRP1/v/0
Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me a few tips on how to go about this as this is my first time with anything like this.
I've tried opening this with notepad, notepad++ & jedit to no avail the reason why I'm doing this is because I'm trying to create a cheat program for Plague Inc for Android but I can't seem to find the encoding for this file.
