    ASCII code *is* readable code. ASCII, a.k.a. ISO-646, contains the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-0 and a few punctuation characters in the range Space-DEL.

    I think you mean something else: what exactly are you trying to do?

    Well, that looks like a configuration file with embedded texts. It doesn't look like anything that might be converted to ASCII. Where did it originate? If it's from a web site, then it's likely to be a non-Western character set which doesn't have a representation in ASCII. If you're trying to pull the strings from a binary file (which is what this looks like), try using the Unix command "strings".

    Looks like hes trying to read the strings from a binary file. Could try a resource editor. Otherwise a hex editor. But all that extra stuff is just control characters, nothing of note.

    I know this is not what you are looking for, but I just found it out, it might be useful to other people

    In Visual Basic.NET to get the readable letter from an ascii character you just use the statement
    Dim readableLetter as string = KeyChar.ToString()
    
    Or something like that anyway (example gives the key pressed, ESC will be "EscapeKey"

    You could also do that in c# like this
    string readableLetter = KeyChar.ToString();
