file_path may contain newlines, therefore you should probably use "\0" to
separate the records. The other fields may not contain whitespace, so it's
safe to use " " as the field separator. When you deserialize the record you
can prevent the file_path from being broken by providing maxsplit to the
str.split() method:
for record in infile.read().split("\0"):
print(record.split(" ", 6))
Splitting into records without reading the whole data into memory left as an
exercise ;)
