EmEditor Not Opening .XLSX Correctly - emeditor

I use EmEditor to search within excel files, and text files. Mainly as it is good to right click on a folder, and go "Find Files with Em Editor" and then have them output into one page with all the relevant locations and data pulled out.
However, with some .xlsx files I have, EmEditor is stating:
"Null Characters (00H) Contained in File"
It gives relevant options, none of which open the files correctly (gives corrupted output, all crazy characters etc)
The files open fine in Excel, no corrupt data or anything.
I have 1000's of these files, so is there anyway to open them in EmEditor? I want to search through them

EmEditor is a plain text editor, but Excel (.xlsx) files are not plain text files but binary files. Therefore, a text editor cannot open Excel (.xlsx) files correctly. You will need to open those Excel (.xlsx) files with Excel, not with text editors including EmEditor. Alternatively, you can save Excel files as CSV files, and then you can read CSV files with EmEditor.

pgAdmin4: Save results to file - file doesn't show

I am trying to save a CSV file of my SQL query in PgAdmin 4 to my local files (I am a beginner so please excuse me if the terminology is not correct). I clicked the "save result to files" button and selected the folder where I want it to be saved. When I look into this folder, there is nothing there. However, if I look into my "last used files" in my Windows explorer (sorry, I am translating this from German), there are the files, I just can't open them. When I clicked on them Excel opens and says it couldn't find it.
I also tried to save the files by writing a command under the query, didn't work either.

Why AutoCAD cannot open dwf files, directly?

In main windows request position that I set all to 0.
I open layout windows and dwf file displayed.
I must do all this steps for all files.
I need a solution that open dwf files directly!
According to AutoDesk you cannot open a DWF file. Their website says:
AutoCAD, DWG TrueView, and Design Review do not have a conversion
feature to change DWF files into DWG format. DWF/DWFx files are a
"digital plot" file containing only low-intelligence entities. It is
not intended for use as a drawing file exchange format and cannot be
fully recovered or changed back to a standard drawing file.
AutoDesk has a process to convert a DWF file into a DWG file in this article:

suggest to add split and combine files from folder

File splitter and combine function of emeditor is very powerful,
but is support opened file and specified file only.
When we have a couple of files need to be splitted or combined.
It's not be able to work .
Can author add this function?
Ready to buy a lifetime liscense.
You can open all files with EmEditor before you combine files. This is partly because EmEditor needs to know exact file encodings, and bookmarks need to be set after files are open. Opening multiple files is easy and fast with EmEditor. You can select multiple files in the Open dialog box, or you can drag and drop multiple files from Windows Explorer. Splitting files can be already possible without opening files.

What kind of a file is a "textfile" with no extension?

What kind of file is a "textfile" with no extension? - A file with text inside it, but no .txt at the end.
I don't understand the purpose of a file like this, but I've seen them in Github repos, commonly storing a list of words with a word on each line.
Its also possible to create one of your desktop if you create a .txt file and then delete the .txt part. On a Mac it says that its still a Plain Text Document if you click "get info".
So is this still exactly the same as a textfile?

Search only text files in VS2012 "Find in Files"

In the Find in Files dialog (Ctrl-Shift-F), is there any way to search only text files in Visual Studio 2012?
I am working on a website that has 100,000's of images.
When I search for a string apparently it searches through all the .jpg and other non-text files (unless you specify the file extension(s) which sometimes you can't do because you just can't tell where the string might appear)
The find-dialog gives you an option to restrict the search:
Find and Replace window has Look at these file types drop down control. You can write here file extension (*.txt, *.cs etc.) what you want to search in it.
Just add the file types filter should include .txt, .aspx, etc.
