Yes I know a little Python but you must at least have an attempt yourself.
What have you tried so far?
What scripting, shell or otherwise, have you done?
Why does your code not work?
What error reports do you get?
Which shell are you using?
What HW and OS is this running on?
I have given a pointer and here is a new one which I generated yesterday after my post 3 on this thread:-

LBNL, I am sure you have posted about this before on here some weeks ago!
EDIT:
How about dumping the binary file as a HEX string array, searching the array for a pattern, finding your wanted end point and re-converting back to a binary file again?
