I'm afraid above is NOT the binary representation of a well-formed text file (many zero bytes, mal-formed multibyte chars, malformed single byte chars, ...).
While
would reconstruct an ASCII file, the result of it applied to every other line of your file yields
A few chars are recognizable ("\", "A", "B", etc), but the main part is garbage.

Hello guys,
We had to move from a DC to another, and we are now facing an "issue" with some text files.
Looks like that some of our log files are set as binary:

I have a binary file which is being exported from a Database, and i need to convert that to ASCII format. How can i achieve that? And this solution should work for any file which is given to us; means they will give different files from different tables.
Thanks in advance. (8 Replies)
