I've been working on some code that will read a textfile with hexacode and decode it but I can't figure out how to readline() without making it read it as a string.

help would be really appreciated thx :)

Been trying to solve this problem for 4 hours now without rest lol. Now I think it's time to look for some help :)

This may help you

import binascii
filename = 'test.dat'
with open(filename, 'rb') as f:
    content = f.read()
print(binascii.hexlify(content))
