How to read .DAT and .IDX files using C Tree
10:16 10 Dec 2013

I've got a program that I am trying to get data out of. I have been unable to find any sort of Database file to open. In the parent directory of the program there are a bunch of .DAT and .IDX files.

The program also installed the C-Tree GUI tools, both the ISAM and SQL explorers. I believe the files are ISAM, but I cannot find an over arching DB file to connect to, and all of my connections via C-Tree get rejected, so there doesn't seem to be any database installed, just a bunch of .DAT and .IDX files

Is there a way to open these files, import them into SQL, anything? I need to be able to query them and grab specific data, but so far I have been unable to open them. Any ideas?

UPDATE: I installed the C Tree ODBC and now I'm wondering if there is a way for me to point the ODBC at the files/folder instead of a database engine (since there's not one)
