I know there are apps that already can open NK2 files. However, i would like to create my own for learning purposes but I don't even know where to start on reading an NK2/Stream_Autocomplete file. I opened it with a text editor (notepad++) and unreadable. Then I used a hex editor (HxD) and that was better.
If I were to use something like C++ or C#, how would I read the hex in? I have learned enough to work with ASCII but not anything else. I need more of a point in the right directions. Does MS have a file definition on this type of file to follow?
