How to parse SAV files?

I don't think anyone is exactly sure what you mean. I admit that I don't know what "parse" means, but I just looked it up on dictionary.com

Quote:
1 To break (a sentence) down into its component parts of speech with an explanation of the form, function, and syntactical relationship of each part.
2. To describe (a word) by stating its part of speech, form, and syntactical relationships in a sentence.

3. a. To examine closely or subject to detailed analysis, especially by breaking up into components: “What are we missing by parsing the behavior of chimpanzees into the conventional categories recognized largely from our own behavior?” (Stephen Jay Gould).
b. To make sense of; comprehend: I simply couldn't parse what you just said.
4. Computer Science. To analyze or separate (input, for example) into more easily processed components.

Maybe if you be more specific about what you want to accomplish you might get more help.

Finally, though I'm not sure if this is exactly what you want, there is a utility called Seed Beast that Ainwood made and it allows you to get the SEED# and other info from a save file. Look for it here
 
Gramphos on (mostly on Apolyton, but I think he's around here also) has worked out most of it. (And has a nice edittting tool based on it).

Firaxis has never publicly posted the file format.
