The BLOB type is intended to hold any kind of binary data. In Euphoria, if you open the file with "rb" and read it with get_bytes, you can do exactly what you are looking to do. However, if your only reason for doing so is so you can search within the files for data, I don't think this is the best tool for the job. I use the GNU program, grep, on both Linux and Windows for this purpose, and would highly recommend writing a program to parse its results from a log file over trying to re-invent its functionality.
