.NFO file conversion is easy!

A decade back, there was a discussion on .nfo file editors.
The conversion is too simple with AutoHotkey 1.1
Note: Notepad font needs to be a mono-spaced.

Code: Select all

; NFO file conversion
Text := FileOpen("desaster.nfo", "r", "cp437").Read() ; Read
FileOpen("desaster.txt", "w", "utf-16").Write(Text)   ; Write

Is it possible to script it such that any .nfo file I open is automatically converted to & opened as .txt, or at least displayed correctly in notepad++?

Create a compiled script and associate it to .nfo extension.
I can't post an example script, as I don't code in V1 anymore.

You can simply associate the ahk script with .nfo extension - no need to compile afaik.
