Extract text from Construction tenders (LCT)
To convert LCT Tenders to another format, you need ITeC TCQ or other Database software.
To convert other file formats to the "Multi-purpose Database or Text File" file type, you need software like ITeC TCQ or a similar tool.
The .LCT file extension is heavily fragmented and serves multiple unrelated purposes depending on the software that created it. Primarily, it functions as a Construction Project Tender Database used by ITeC TCQ software, utilizing the JetDB format to store complex construction estimates and project data. Secondly, it acts as a Sports Analysis Dashboard Template for LongoMatch video analysis software, saving customized dashboard layouts in a UTF-8 text structure. Other distinct uses include simulator constants for the OMSI Omnibus Simulator, vehicle emissions location data for the US EPA MOVES model, and localization text files for various video games.
Because an .LCT file can be a relational database, a structured text file, or a Microsoft Compound file, users face significant confusion when trying to open them. The primary disadvantage of this extension is its ambiguity. Without knowing the source software, double-clicking the file usually results in an operating system error. Furthermore, proprietary database files like those from TCQ require expensive, specialized software to read properly and maintain complex data relationships.
If you need to extract the data, the best target formats depend heavily on the file's internal structure. A JetDB-based .LCT file can often be extracted to MDB or ACCDB for use in Microsoft Access, or flattened into a CSV file. However, converting a relational database to CSV will flatten the data and destroy relational links. Text-based variations, like LongoMatch templates or OMSI configuration files, can be safely converted to standard TXT or JSON files.
Standard online converters routinely fail to process .LCT files because they rely solely on the file extension rather than the internal file signature. Our platform inspects the raw hexadecimal headers to determine the exact origin of your file. Even if the wrapper is proprietary, if our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - like JetDB tables or UTF-8 text - viewing or extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LCT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MDA, A2 and VWL files.
If you want to convert LCT file to INI, CFG, CONF, CONFIG, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, ENV, PROPERTIES or RC, you can use ITeC TCQ or similar software from the "Construction Database & Analysis Template" 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 LCT, try ITeC TCQ or another comparable tool in the "Construction Database & Analysis Template" 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 LCT converter.
