A HA! Before posting this message I did try a deflate using Ruby's zlib, then unpacking the string to little endian double, but that didn't give me any numbers that made any sense. Based on your clue, I wrote out the string to a file, used command line unzip on that file and it actually expanded to an XML file that contains the spectra information. W00t! Will have to sort this out in Ruby now. Anyway, thanks for the tip Brian. -angel > > -Brian > > On Jul 14, 7:31 am, Angel <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Related to this (badlt named :) ) > > posthttp://groups.google.com/group/spctools-discuss/browse_thread/thread/... > > > Thermo Proteome Discoverer uses a file format based on SQLite3.
