Well it is quite simple!! The first is the name of the control, the second is the type descriptor as it is also returned by the Flatten to String function and the third is tha actually flattened data.
The format of the type descriptor is documented in the LabVIEW Reference Manual and also in an Application Note by National Instruments but it is not a trivial task to parse this as it is really a recursive data structure. On OpenG www.OpenG.org is a "lvdata" library with heavy work by Jean-Pierre Drolet inside the OpenG Toolkit, which does this and also allows to retrieve and assign data through variants from the flattened string.
