The 30KB file containing data for FTIR analysis has .0 file extension. I have no idea what it is and how to convert it into .TXT format or any other format readable by origin software. Unfortunately there is insufficient data available on web so Kindly help.

What Type of spectrometer did you use, was it a Bruker? Usually spectrometer software has the built-In possibility to convert and export the data format specific to the company to an ASCII file. In case of a Bruker it has the extension .dpt (data point table) but is a text-file you can use in Origin.
Yes it was Bruker Tensor 37, they gave me the data file extension with .0, .1, .2 file extensions. I tried to change the extension into dpt but it is still not opening in origin and i also export it in ASCII file but its not opening too. I will soon post the solution for this problem if i came to know.
Thanks to everyone.
Strange... I just tried it and it works perfectly here... did you use the option "file/import/single ASCII"?
Hmmm... the problem should not be dependent on the Origin version - 20 years ago it worked in the same way... ;-) Do you get an error message? Does it work with other ASCII data tables e.g. generated by Excel?
Please ask them to resend your results with DPT file, because O extension file is probably can't open. I tried many ways, but I can't.
Ultimately I asked them (the one who gave me the data) to convert the files into suitable format.
The one and only solution for those who don't have linux operating system to use opus software to convert data generated by a bruker instrument, or any other spectroscopy based software which can read the data and convert it into the origin supporting file format via importing ASCII file....
Thanks to you all.
Dear Savy,
Try to save your *.0 files into *.spc format. This is possible within Bruker OPUS software under menu "File Save as". Then select "Mode". Finally, check- in the button "Galactic" and press :Save".
The *.spc files are perfectly readable by Origin.
Good Luck!
Savy Panamkuttiyiel Minal You can change .O format into excel or .txt by the freely available software Spectragryph . Here is the download link

Hope, It will help.
You can open the file ".0" (DBT) by the Excel program. Then will appear a box dialogue and you can to chose the option "delimited" and click on "next".
In delimiters select only "comma" and click on "next".
Then select "text" and click on "conclude".
You can save the file as txt by Excel itself.
I was also interested in this issue. As far as I can tell .0 files contain custom encoding. It looks like it is serialized class objects or something else. The closest is the 'windows-1251' encoding in which some meaningful words can be read, such as "Sample Compartment", "Number of Baseline Points:" etc. However, most of the file is an unreadable set of symbols "
