What is an SCRIPT file?

SCRIPT files mostly belong to script by The FreeBSD Project. A SCRIPT file is an executable script written in AutoIt programming language using AutoIt Editor. SCRIPT is also the filename extension of a file containing a terminal session. It is created when (an existing/non-existing) file with SCRIPT filename extension is passed to the script terminal utility in a UNIX-based environment. If no file/filename is passed to the script command, the terminal session is saved to a file named typescript. Another type of SCRIPT file contains data used by the Help (Get Help) application on Windows. Settings for a VBScript project is also saved in a SCRIPT file.

How can I open an SCRIPT file?

You need a suitable software like script to open an SCRIPT file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your SCRIPT file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SCRIPT file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

SCRIPT file format:

If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit the file. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the SCRIPT files is as follows:

The SCRIPT extension is quite commonly used. The file itself includes a lot of different file formats for different programs. The two most popular formats are as follows:

7% of all SCRIPT files are based on the well-known UTF-16 (LE) file format. UTF-16 (LE) is an character encoding system for Unicode. UTF-16 files can be viewed in any modern text editor. These files start with the two bytes FF FE, the so called byte order mark (BOM). These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. The files are often between 740 bytes and 17 KB in size. The file type is very recent. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as %08%1DJ, %15%0D and ;%1C%0F%0C. The file name system.modifications.script or system.level.script is typical for these files. Files like these have the following tags: modifications, level, comp, wolf and loot.
4% of all SCRIPT files start with the bytes Script crucial for this file format. These files are text files, so they contain words and text. The file size is in the range of 700 bytes to 31 KB. The following keywords are characteristic: Script started. The following filename is common: asn1_q3.script or git-use.script. Files like these have the following tags: alternate and animation.

All other SCRIPT files (89%) have different formats, the following 18 formats can be found: AutoIt script, Source, JSON, ZIP, shell script, ucfb, SET, local, LuaR, CREATE and printf. Often described as menu, goggame, manager, artefacts, condition, random or grok. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your SCRIPT file!

How to solve problems with SCRIPT files

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