Unzip or unpack any application with such for example bible.jar should be renamed to anyname.zip then extract and preview all folders and files you should find at a file or folder with a text file. Sometimes this text file has either a strange extension(eg .dat, .p etc) or none at all. Usually don't expect the file to be plain text. When i examined that of happy potter's ebook . Every xter even ordinary space (ascii 000) was seperated by an invisible xter (ascii 032). I don't know the platform you are working on. But i suggest you try some phone applications like 'class editor' 'blue ftp' 'opera solibay' they help you see the strange characters identify thier numerical representation and hence replace them. I don't know/have any application that does this on computers. But i have written simple scripts/codes that can do these task easily. Lastly it s possible that you could not find the text file, download for another version/edition/author until you find one with the text file. Some are written in binary i would not disturb my self with binary files. Find me on facebook.com/adetj for chat |

What if the designer modified, split or converted d txt to suit his logic? You can find txts & some other formats @ http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/ try googling too b4 @kidstell u can jst take note of the ENCODING of the file and convert back to whatever u need.I'm guessing u're relying on ur browsers unicode support |

Nyt.:you get the logic i identify the strange invisible xters then use simple script in basic fortran and other languages. If it is a visible xter i just use find and replace feature of notepad. These xters are sometimes there because the plain text file was re-written by a similar script to div into logic |
