binary vtk file

[Paul Biegel]

Hi,

I have a question related to read a binary vtk file. This file has been
created using Matlab by
the command "fread". However, this file must be processed further within
Python. It is not
known to me which codec is used to encode this file. It starts with the
following characters:

*1XùB4zBÑX•Cò¼ôA4zBÑX•C~BùB4zBÑ{–Cn
ùB4zBJž—C •øB4zB·¿˜CÃ*
**
Has anyone an idea how to decode this in normal Python strings even if it is
not known
which character set must be used? Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Paul
