A Study on Binary File Conversion using python-based GUI Application

摘要

In today's world large number of companies are facing problem related to version control systems. The problem is about comparing binary files such as excel file and recalling what changes have been done over the period of time. It is hard to keep track of what all changes have been made over a set of files in the company and hence comes the need of an approach which can fetch and compare the files with changes that have been done. Since binary files are not readable with human eye, this approach can convert those binary files to XML and compare it on the GUI to show and highlight the changes that have been made over the version control system. A VCS is a system that keeps track of changes one does over a set of files over the time and records it so it can be recalled in the future when needed. Binary file conversion approach is implemented to provide a solution to the problem for the companies that have extensive use for the binary files like Excel and need to refer the changes that were made on them.
