What is an LSQ file?

LSQ files mostly belong to LimeSurvey. This LSQ file is an XML document used by LimeSurvey to store survey questions. It organizes question text, choices, and logic in a structured format that many users can open and review with any text or XML editor.

Format: XML-based plain text.
Functionality: Holds survey question setups including order and branching logic.
Usage: Best imported into LimeSurvey for editing and updating surveys.
Editing: Manual edits are possible if you follow the LimeSurvey XML schema.

LSQ file extension format:

Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the LSQ files looks like this:

The LSQ file extension is not found very often and mainly uses a special format. The two most common formats are as follows:

80% of all LSQ files use the popular XML file format. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. If you open these files in a text editor, you can view and read the content yourself. LSQ files are between 2 KB and 18 KB in size. The file type is relatively new. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>, <document>, DBVersion, <LimeSurveyDocType>Question</LimeSurveyDocType>, <languages>, </languages>, <questions>, <fiel and <language>en</language>. These files are often associated with question, limesurvey, array, type, multiple, flexible, labels and using.

All other LSQ files (20%) have no uniform format. Often described as matrix, numerical, input, choice or scale. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your LSQ file!

How to solve problems with LSQ files

Associate the LSQ file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open xml documents. Because only the current version supports the latest LSQ file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available LimeSurvey update.
To make sure that your LSQ file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
