You can use TextFormat for this. Say your file is going to have a set of
FooMessages in it. Then, define a message like:
message FooSet {
repeated FooMessage foo = 1;
}
Now, your file can look like this:
foo {
... contents of the first FooMessage ...
}
foo {
... the second FooMessage ...
}
...
Now parse the entire file as a single FooSet.
BTW, protoc can do text<->binary conversion from the command line:
protoc foo.proto --encode=FooSet < text_data > binary_data
Hope that helps.
