Hey, I have a .FILE that I would like to open/import because it contains my database of old iphone text messages and I want to retrieve some of them.

I did some quick research and guess that this could be read as an SQL file? When opened in notepad here is the first line:

Code
SQLite format 3   @ ¡@ » <    ¡@ -â û äûÏ#
Š k  ¬
œ |`^;®F¢ ñ …*Š+tablemessagemessageCREATE TABLE message (ROWID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, address TEXT, date INTEGER, text TEXT, flags INTEGER, replace INTEGER, svc_center TEXT, group_id INTEGER, association_id INTEGER, height INTEGER, UIFlags INTEGER, version INTEGER, subject TEXT, country TEXT, headers BLOB, recipients BLOB, read INTEGER, madrid_attributedBody BLOB, madrid_handle TEXT, madrid_version INTEGER, madrid_guid TEXT, madrid_type INTEGER, madrid_roomname TEXT, madrid_service TEXT, madrid_account TEXT, madrid_flags INTEGER, madrid_attachmentInfo BLOB, madrid_url TEXT, madrid_error INTEGER, is_madrid INTEGER, madrid_date_read INTEGER, madrid_date_delivered INTEGER)!'‚ triggerdelete_piecesmessageCREATE TRIGGER delete_pieces AFTER DELETE ON message BEGIN DELETE


Notice the CREATE TABLE.

I am a complete newbie in everything related to this and just want to retrieve some text messages. Could anyone possible help me?

that file extension means nothing. if everything is in plain text like that, just look for your text messages.

aren't your texts stored on your phone service's server somewhere? just get them from there. or turn on the phone, go to your texting app, and look for it there.
