cloudcompare output file format on bash

Hi
I was trying to process my .obj mesh file to .asc pointcloud file format by CloudCompare on bash(ubuntu)
This is my command line
'$ cloudcompare.CloudCompare -silent -O ./mymesh.obj -SAMPLE_MESH POINTS 1000000 -SAVE_CLOUDS FILE file1.asc'

everything works good untill the -SAVE_CLOUDS command.
I get 2 outputs of a .bin file and .asc file.
However the .asc file is just a file of non-understandable symbols (broken information I suppose) and it those not open in cloudcompare when inputted.
(the .bin file is readed fine)

Is there any suggestions to get a well-converted(no loss of information) .asc file from command?

thanks in advance
