Hello,

I'm trying to make a packet analyzer with gnuradio which will translate 802.15.4 messages for me. I already have a gnuradio block that would pass my a raw data of the message from that start of frame. Right now the messages are saved into a text file by connecting this block to a file sink. I'm not sure how I read each message and analyze them. I don't know much about programming in gnuradio/python. Can someone suggest me what to do? 

Thank you very much,

In my opinion packet analysis isn't the proper job of Gnu Radio itself.  What you can do is have your output file be a "FIFO" file (named pipe), and then attach an external analysis program to that FIFO, and write it in whatever you're comfortable with.
