A friend of mine asked me if I could review his code. I said ok and immediately regretted it when he sent me 250 lines of .docx text. In PDF. So I couldn't even copy-paste it.

A screenshot would be another option ;)

Why would you spend any time regretting it?

The correct course would be to look at what he sent; immediately contact him back and tell him the format you need it in; forget about it until you get it back in a manageable format.

@SSDD And by format I'm sure you meant a github link? (or anything similar like bitbucket , gitlab, etc) 😁😎

@SSDD Or assume that the code that consists of 250 lines of docx code or in PDF format is...not worth the time/effort to explain what's wrong there :-/
