few of the remarks and questions you guys asked:
First of all, the example I gave was just that - an example. Yes, I know
Python starts with 0,

I didn't suggest writing a "spec-parser". No (mechanical) parsing is
involved.

Here is an elementary suggestion. It would not be difficult to write a
Python script to make a csv file from your text files, adding commas at
the appropriate places to separate fields. Then the csv file can be
browsed in Excel (or some other spreadsheet). A0 and C1 records could
be written to sepa
I need a tool to browse text files with a size of 10-20 Mb. These
files have a fixed record length of 800 bytes (CR/LF), and containt
records used to create printed pages by an external company.
Each line (record) contains an 2-character identifier, like 'A0' or
'C1'. The identifier identifies the
