Your description is too sketchy to come with a real analysis, but if
you're reading a file that contains more than just simple text
characters, you probably need to open the file in binary mode:
f = open( 'xxxx.bin', 'rb' )
You probably need to examine this file with a hex editor to figure out
what it really contains.
If you want, you could send me one of the files, and a detailed
description of what you want out of them. Perhaps we can come with a
data structure that's easier to work with.
