Extract text from Electoral reports or Flowcode files (FCC)
To convert FCC files to another format, you need Matrix Flowcode or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Report & Source Code File" file type, you need software like Matrix Flowcode or a similar tool.
The .FCC file format serves multiple highly specialized roles, most notably as an Electoral Crowdfunding Report used by the Brazil Superior Electoral Court (TSE) and as a Flowcode Custom Component Code file. In the electoral context, these files store campaign finance data submitted by political candidates. In the developer space, an .FCC file contains custom component logic encoded in UTF-16 (Little Endian) for electronics design and microcontroller programming. A third, rare use case is the Forms Credential Collector file associated with Netegrity SiteMinder for web access management.
Opening these files natively requires the original software. Flowcode components rely on Matrix TSL Flowcode, a commercial visual programming IDE. Electoral files require the TSE's official reporting software, while Netegrity files operate within enterprise server environments.
Users frequently need to convert .FCC files because the format is strictly proprietary. You cannot open an .FCC file in a web browser, standard office suite, or generic code editor without encountering formatting errors or missing dependencies. Electoral files trap data in a closed ecosystem, making it difficult for journalists, analysts, or auditors to review campaign finances without installing regional government software. Flowcode users face limits when sharing component logic with team members who lack an expensive software license.
The best conversion targets for .FCC files are CSV, TXT, or PDF. Converting electoral data to CSV allows it to be analyzed in spreadsheet software, while converting to PDF creates a universally readable document for sharing. Flowcode components are best converted to plain TXT to review the raw UTF-16 code. However, conversion will always strip out native IDE functionality, compilation capabilities, and interactive reporting logic.
Because the internal data structures are undocumented or proprietary, the .FCC format is incredibly difficult to open or convert with standard online tools. Emphasize that often only the original software can properly read or export the data. However, convert.guru offers a pragmatic workaround. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. convert.guru can still inspect the file and show raw text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - such as the UTF-16 text inside a Flowcode file - viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FCC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted FCF, TSX, CLJ and MG files.
If you want to convert FCC file to MG, INI, CFG, CONF, CONFIG, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, ENV or PROPERTIES, you can use Matrix Flowcode or similar software from the "Electoral Reporting & Component Code" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert ZSHRC, CONF, RCFILE, GITCONFIG, RC, PLIST, BASHRC, CONFIG, PROFILE, INI, PREFS or CFG files to FCC, try Matrix Flowcode or another comparable tool in the "Electoral Reporting & Component Code" 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 FCC converter.
