Extract text from BIMcollab and SQL data files (BCP)
To convert BCP data files to another format, you need BIMcollab ZOOM or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Exported Database / Project File" file type, you need software like BIMcollab ZOOM or a similar tool.
A .BCP file commonly acts as a BIMcollab project file (storing XML data for 3D model coordination), a Microsoft SQL Server Bulk Copy Program data file, or a proprietary business card design project. You can open the BIM variations with BIMcollab ZOOM and handle database variations with the Microsoft SQL Server bcp utility command line.
The major disadvantage of .BCP files is their extreme fragmentation. Because entirely different programs use this exact extension, identifying the file type without examining the hex header is frustrating. SQL bulk copy files are often massive binary blobs or utilize custom column terminators, meaning they cannot be opened safely in standard text editors. Meanwhile, BIMcollab and business card files (like those from Belltech) are heavily proprietary, locking your data into specific software ecosystems. They are completely unsupported by web browsers.
To make this data usable, you must convert it. For database records, convert to CSV or JSON to process the data in Excel or Python. For business card designs, exporting to PDF or JPG is mandatory for professional printing. For BIMcollab archives, standard XML extraction works best.

Convert.Guru analyzes your BCP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted BACPAC, BCF, ZIP, DDB, DRL, DGN and CSV files.
If you want to convert BCP file to CSV, JS, TS, PY, JAVA, CPP, C, CS, PHP, RB, GO or RS, you can use BIMcollab ZOOM or similar software from the "Database and BIM Project Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SH, PY, KT, PS1, SWIFT, LUA, PL, JAVA, SCALA, JS, VBS or TS files to BCP, try BIMcollab ZOOM or another comparable tool in the "Database and BIM Project Storage" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our BCP converter.
