Acessing .DAT files

Need to open and edit data

[colandy]

I have a sat nav system that creates a .DAT history file. What I want to do is remove some of the items in this history file to reduce the amount of space that is taken up by this file.

I can edit the file using a Hex editor and all is well, I can't edit it using a text editor as there are odd characters in the file.

What I'd like to do is list the record details, and have a tick box for each record. Then I can delect the selected records and re-save the file.

I'd like to do this in JS if possible which is why I posted here.

Any idea's..?!?!?

JavaScript is not really meant for this sort of stuff. You may want to take a look at the Perl or PHP forum instead.
