Samsung S-Note to .txt Converter

[mustapro]

Hello everyone,

This is my first thread in this forum and I decided to make it a release .
A friend of mine used to own a Galaxy Note phone, and wanted to retrieve all the notes that he had on that phone, and searching through Google introduced me to the fact that they're easy to read on PC, but not convenient, specially if you're dealing with a huge amount of notes.

So, I decided to make it easy on him by building this tool, and I also want to share it with the public because as far as I know, no one ever made a tool with a similar function before?

The tool works as follows:

1. Drag all the .snb files to the list box.
2. Click "Start Converting".
3. Select a folder to save the .txt files to.
4. Enjoy!

PS: This tool is open-source, since I know my new account would not give me enough credibility, some of you who know programming feel free to review the code here.

Side-note: I apologize if this isn't the correct forum to post-to, and if so, it's due to me being new to this place so please correct me.

What specifically does the tool do? Does it convert my handwritten Notes to text (i.e. reading my sloppy handwriting ? What does it do with Notes that have no text? Drawings, etc ...

This tool converts text notes into text files, since they're only readable on PC by using a multi-step workaround.
Currently, it just ignores them if there's no text in the notes, but I am willing to add support to these features in future updates.
Only problem is I do not have a sample of other types of notes (i.e.: hand-written, drawings, etc...) since I do not own a Galaxy Note myself.

Thanks for your contribution. It helped me.
I just make a small change in the source code so will be able to read all lines

while (reader.ReadToFollowing("sn:t"))
{
      xmlResult.AppendLine(reader.ReadElementContentAsString().Replace("\n", "\r\n"));
}
