Extracting info from rbt file

[darkss87]

Hi everyone.
I'm interested in developing a programming application similar to NXT-G that works on GNU/Linux. I don't know if there is an easy way to at least extract a part of the information in rbt files to import them in the application. That would be a nice feature, but I'm not sure if it's legal, or if there are things like specifications to that format.

Many Thanks.

I've found that changing the .rbt to .txt can yield some interesting stuff, but It seems to never yield the complete program. Perhaps if you have a hex editor or something you could try that?

Can't you get the info directly from the sdk at http://us.mindstorms.lego.com/en-us/sup ... x#Advanced ?

I could only find documentation about the .rxe format and some stuff about the driver (which I haven't even considered reading,). Is there anything about .rbt files there, I couldn't find it?

An RBT file is a LabView virtual instrument file (VI). The LabView VI file format is a carefully guarded trade secret of National Instruments. As far as I have been able to tell there isn't any code out there that can parse it correctly. I started looking at it a while back and did not get very far before I gave up.
