Export of blob gibberish

I have exported a blob field that contains text, but when I open the file it is binary gibberish. Is there a function that needs to be called to make it ascii?

Thanks in advance

Can you tell us how exactly you did the "export"? And what's the content of the file and what exactly did you expect?
