#dump files

i can find teensy bits of the text in the dump file, but most of it is gibberish. everything i'm finding online is about how to analyze a dump file to debug a program, which is not helpful. i need to, i guess convert the gibberish to normal text? but i don't know how.

please. if anyone has any idea at all how to get a dump file to be readable to a human i cannot tell you how much that would help me. i am like on the verge of tears here.

even if you have no idea - even if you don't care about this at all - please, i beg you, reblog this so hopefully it'll land on the dash of someone who can help.
