Q: How to read the file? binary and text interspersed A: Don't bother, just read it as normal text and you'll be able to keep your binary/text dichotomy (otherwise you won't be able to regex it as easily) <pre><code>fh = open('/path/to/my/file.ext', 'r') fh.read() </code></pre> Just in case you want to read binary later for some reason, you just add a b to the second input of the open: <pre><code>fh = open('/path/to/my/file.ext', 'rb') </code></pre> Q: Eliminate unnecessary control characters A: Use the python <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/re.html" rel="nofollow">re</a> module. Your next question sorta ask how Q: parse the messages in between two \xaa USEFUL TEXT INFORMATION \xaa (HEX 'aa') A: re module has a findall function that works as you (mostly) expect. <pre><code>import re mytext = '\xaaUseful text that I want to keep\xaa^X^X^X\xaaOther text i like\xaa' usefultext = re.findall('\xaa([a-zA-Z^!-~0-9 ]+)\xaa', mytext) </code></pre> Q: print out the required stuff *A: There's a print function... <pre><code>print usefultext </code></pre> Q: Loop through all the lines.. and more files. <pre><code>fh = open('/some/file.ext','r') for lines in fh.readlines(): #do stuff </code></pre> I'll let you figure out the <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/os.html" rel="nofollow">os</a> module to figure out what files exist/how to iterate through them.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
