Backup dat file data - How do I back up as csv?

[ashyranky@gmail.com]

Hi, 

I have invoice file back up files which we require to convert to csv format. This has not been possible because the .dat file is not structured properly and it contains a lot of noisy/rogue characters.

1. The header detail is followed by equal sign, e.g customer=Jon Smith

2. Where there are supposed to spaces between records, the spaces are denoted by special characters, e.g Jon%20Smith

How do I get a clean copy of the invoice backup without all the data noise in a csv format?
