Hi: Looking for direction on editing text files that are (I believe) binary hashtables.

Example of the file content:
======================================================

¬í sr java.util.Hashtable»%!Jä¸ F
loadFactorI thresholdxp?@ w 
t DATEt
2003_08_14t Z1_DCRsq ~ ?@ Gw _ (t ROW19COL1sr java.lang.Double€³ÂJ)kû D valuexr java.lang.Number†¬• ”à‹ xp@¶WÙ™™™št ROW19COL0sq ~  t ROW18COL1sq ~ @¶WÙ™™™št ROW18COL0sq ~ @ t ROW17COL1sq ~  t ROW17COL0sq ~  t ROW16COL1sq ~  t ROW16COL0sq ~  t ROW15COL1sq ~ @ú¡Îfffft ROW14COL1sq ~ @¶rèõ\t ROW15COL0sq ~ @Õ* t ROW14COL0sq ~  t ROW13COL1sq ~ @µ.Y™™™št ROW13COL0sq ~  t ROW12COL1sq ~ @P€ t ROW12COL0sq ~  t ROW11COL1sq ~  t ROW10COL1sq ~  t ROW11COL0sq ~  t ROW10COL0sq ~  t ROW9COL1sq ~  t ROW9COL0sq ~  t ROW8COL1sq ~ @V£33333t ROW8COL0sq ~ @P t ROW7COL1sq ~ @mffffft ROW7COL0sq ~ @cÀ t ROW6COL1sq ~ À¸Që…t ROW5COL1sq ~ À0G®záHt ROW6COL0sq ~ ?ð t ROW5COL0sq ~  t ROW4COL1sq ~ Àõ\(öt ROW4COL0sq ~ ?ð t ROW3COL1sq ~ Àfffffft ROW3COL0sq ~ @ t ROW2COL1sq ~ À ž¸Që…t ROW1COL1sq ~ @=p£×

=========================================================

Within vb, I would need to take the existing file, edit one or more items, and save it to a new location for re-processing. I understand the scripting.dictionary object allows handling of hashtables, but have not found any direction of physically loading and saving.

All comments appreciated.
