I am reading a binary file:

```
    file = open("TPSDisplay/Reader/radio_log.BIN","rb")
    lines = file.read(100)
    file.close()

```

When I run `print(lines)`, it prints the converted binary string, in this case it is:

`'\r\n01659963148.977->>(\x00\x00\x00\xa5v\xe6A\x0033\x0033\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xd9\xfb\x00\x0c\x17\x90\x01M\x04\x00\x00\x00\x1d\xb3\x1c\xf6\x8ep\xf7N\xf6\x00\x00\r\n01659963148.977->>(\x00\x00\x00\xa5v\xe6A\x0033\x0033\x00\x00\x00'`

Now I want to split this string about the `\r`'s and do general string manipulation, but since `lines` is not a normal string object I cannot do so.

Note:
I think the hex represents an excel table as that is what is usually outputted with this binary file, if you have an idea on how to interpret the data following the long digit that would be extremely helpful as well.
