Q file format:

Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Below you will find our evaluation of the Q files:

The Q file extension covers different formats for different programs. The following file formats are most commonly found in Q files:

• 20% of all Q files start with the bytes [General] crucial for this file format. The contents of these files can even be read by a human. Most of these files are 750 bytes to 69 KB in size. The file type is very old but is also used today. The files contain the following words: [General], EnableWindow=, MacroID, SyntaxVersion=2, PauseHotkeyMod=0, RunOnce=1, StopHotkeyMod=0, BeginHotkeyMod=0, PauseHotkey=0, StopHotkey=123 and BeginHotkey=121.
• 8% of all Q files internally utilize the Source file format. A source code is the set of instructions written by a programmer using a computer programming language like JavaScript, C++ or Basic. This code is translated into machine language by a compiler. The translated result is called app, program or executable. These files are text files and can therefore be read using a text editor. The files are often between 110 bytes and 1 KB in size. The following keywords are characteristic: //This file was generated from (Academic) UPPAAL 4.1.24 (rev. 29A3ECA4E5FB0808), November 2019 and deadlock. These files are attributed to makedb.

The remaining 72% of all Q files are different files with different signatures, the following 8 formats exist: Quantum compressed archive, ZIP, PDF and cat. These files sometimes refer to funcs, lighting, qchicago, fixture, first or unit. If you want to find out which format your Q file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .q file to view".
