Extract text from SCRIPT files
To convert your SCRIPT file to another format, you need Notepad++ or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Source Code / Log" file type, you need software like Notepad++ or a similar tool.
The .SCRIPT file extension is a generic container used by diverse applications, creating a significant challenge for users attempting to open or edit them. The most common varieties include game data files for titles like Titan Quest (developed by Iron Lore Entertainment) and S.T.A.L.K.E.R., terminal session transcripts created by the Unix script command, and database definition files for HSQLDB.
Because this format is ambiguous, operating systems rarely assign a default application, leaving users staring at an "Open With" dialog. While many .SCRIPT files are plain text - containing Lua code, SQL commands, or shell logs - others, like those from Titan Quest, may be binary or encrypted, appearing as illegible garbage in standard editors. This lack of standardization makes direct editing risky and compatibility poor across devices.
For accessibility and archiving, we recommend converting text-based .SCRIPT files to TXT for universal viewing, PDF for uneditable archiving of terminal logs, or SQL for database restoration. If the file contains game logic, converting to LUA often enables syntax highlighting in code editors like VS Code.

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 SCRIPT converter.
