Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Using File Sink Block

[Steve Joseph]

I have been struggling to convert the output of the gr_file_sink block into a readable txt file.  It seems that to do this I have to know the formatting details of how the gr_file_sink block writes the raw data (byte).  If anyone is aware of the command(s) to make this raw output into a readable txt document, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

I am trying to save the output of a stream to a .txt file using the gr_file_sink block.  After running the flowgraph, the .txt file either cannot be opened due to missing formatting information, or the file just appears empty.

Is there a line I can add to the python script to make the file readable in a standard editor? Am I using the block wrong somehow?

Thanks in advance.

The file sink writes native-binary formatted data--any conversion to text would have to be done
