= Structure of the "projectData" file =<br />
The "projectData" file is an xml file describing the project along with a large chunk of base64 encoded data within the <data> tags.<br />
<br />
Once base64 decoded, this data tag still contains some binary data with human readable strings which can be found from the Terminal with a command like:<br />
<br />
<nowiki>cat "foo.band/projectData" \<br />
| sed -n '/<data>/,/<\/data>/{//!p;}' \<br />
| base64 -D \<br />
| strings \<br />
| less<br />
</nowiki><br />
<br />
These strings can be filtered out. For example, the following command gets (almost) only the names of the instruments used in the project:<br />
<br />
<nowiki>cat "foo.band/projectData" \<br />
| sed -n '/<data>/,/<\/data>/{//!p;}' \<br />
| base64 -D \<br />
| strings \<br />
| awk ' /^ Inst 1$/{flag=1} /^ Inst 12$/{flag=0} flag { print }'<br />
