I have followed the instructions and extracted it, which yielded a new folder with many files with either no extension, .o, .pp or .hh

The “.cpp” (sic) and “.hh” files were present in the “.tar.gz” file (after you extracted them using “tar -xf”).  The “.o” files were generated - by the compiler - when you ran “make”.

After running “make”, you should have a new file - named “djiparsetxt”.  This should already be executable; just run
	./djiparsetxt example.txt > example.csv
(replace “example.txt” with the name of your “.txt” file).

If, however, you get a “no permission” error when you try to run “./djiparsetxt”, then run
	chmod a+x djiparsetxt
beforehand.
