4 Steps to Open an Unknown .CGT File

CGT files come from different programs and aren't universally openable.

  1. Identify the Source: If developing parsers, it's likely a Compiled Grammar Table for the GOLD Parsing System. Otherwise, it may be proprietary game data.
  2. Check the Header: Inspect the first bytes in a hex viewer or text editor:
    • "GOLD" indicates a Devin Cook GOLD Parsing System table.
    • "PK" means it's a ZIP archive.
    • Readable XML/JSON suggests a plain-text file.
  3. Use the Original Software: You usually need the original program. Try the GOLD Parsing System or GOLD Builder. If uncertain, ask the sender.
  4. Use this Webpage: Drag and drop the file into our viewer to detect the format, extract readable text/metadata, and preview when possible.
