The log file contains everything unfortunately; unprintable characters, screen management sequences, et al.

You could open it with a hex editor to see what went on, but you'll need to interpret what you see.

You can't send it to a printer or anything like that. If you do you'll only do it once!!!

You editor is warning you that it might be binary because some of it is unprintables. Try a hex editor.
