All the forum posts as a text

[TheSnake]

Hello everybody! There was an old forum. It has only around 100 posts. Almost forgot it. Years later I found out it's already inactive. Now I downloaded its archive/backup. Where is the text file? I need all these ~100 posts as text in order to repost them in our new forum, because I don't want to lose this content. Tell me please is there something like this like "Themes - Default - etc." where there is only text/content file of the posts?

All the posts (text) are stored in the database.

Where exactly? Can you give me the path like "Themes - Default - a - b - texts"? The base is big and I wish I don't need to check it file by file.

Your backup doesn't look to contain the database content (because it's not really a file in the conventional sense)... means you don't have the posts.

Something in the cPanel, an option for finding the posts?

[Arantor]

You need to go to the phpMyAdmin option which should show you the database, after that you want the table usually called smf_messages.
