If you have those files accessible from some Unix-like OS, then you can: strings < theXfile.x | less Sometimes also: hexdump -C < theXfile.x | less Or, to avoid the risk of fu-ups if you put "<" in bad direction: cat theXfile.x | strings | less It may reveal a bit about the insides of the file, for example in case of sqlite database there would probably be a tables description. Also, comparing cat theXfile.x | strings | wc -c cat theXfile.x | wc -c would givw some idea of how much of the file is text and how much of it is something else. All those tricks assume that files are uncompressed, of course.
