Converting string data to binary and decoding it in Python? -

i asked question, bit unclear.

if have line of data:

52, 123, 0, ./commands/command_fw_update.c, "testing string" 52, 123, 0, ./commands/command_fw_updat2e.c, "testing string2" 

how can convert data .bin file, read in data bin file string?

the data in desired format. if want copy input file file called input.bin, use shutil.copyfile:

# copy data .bin file: import shutil shutil.copyfile("input.txt", "input.bin")  # read data string: open("input.bin") data_file:     data = data_file.read()  # now, convert string useful data,  # parse way want. example, take # first number in each line , store # array called "numbers": data = [[field.strip() field in line.split(",")]         line in data.splitlines()] numbers = [int(data[0]) data in data] print numbers
