I have a format, which is unknown in FME. It stores hexadecimals, (I can open it with hexinator).

I want to know how I can read it with FME, so that I can start trying to convert it into something nicer!

(I have the data structure, so I know what the hexadecimals tell me, but I don't know how I can read it with FME).

can someone give me a hint?

with kind regards,

Ine De Cubber

I'd start by looking at the PythonCreator, it makes it easy to read a file and to create features from the content.

You can also look at either the Text File (for text) or Data File (for binary) readers and then use regular transformers from there.

Hi Ine, as @david_r suggestes the Text File Reader or Data File would be what I would try.
