Subject: Re: So I got a binary file...

HI all and thanks for the help.
After beating around a little.

mydata = String.new
f = File.open("WesObs_Sumatra_032805.sac","rb")
newstring =  f.read

newdata = newstring.unpack('f*\n')
fw = File.open("test.txt","wb")
fw.write(newdata[0])

Is all I needed to do to extract the floats from the binary data in the 
file.
Was a lot simpler then I though.
I didn't know that unpack stuck things in arrays so that was the largest 
problem I was having.

Onto problem #2.
