This (*) is an asterix, and maybe this link can give us a clue of what it means.

Your data file seems to be some kind of DUMP file.

Some utilities/programs that create DUMP files use the asterix (*) to signify that the values for that portion of data are repeated; which in your case means that lines 0000160 to 0000180 are equal to line 0000140.
