The blockfiles are in a binary format, you won’t be able to open them in an editor.
Each blockfile stores the content of N blocks, up until it becomes 64MB in size, at which point the next blockfile will get created to store subsequent blocks.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am a research scholar at the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur. In my research work, I am using hyperledger fabric,
and I have read that the hyperledger fabric stores the database under /var/hyperledger/. . . . .

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a research scholar at the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur. In my research work, I am using hyperledger fabric, and I have read that the hyperledger fabric stores the database
under /var/hyperledger/..... . However, I found that the directory only contains one file named "blockfile000000". So My questions are -
1) Does that file contain the data for every block?
2) That file won't open in any editor, so how can I read it?
3) If editing that file is not possible, is there any way we can separate a part of the ledger?
Thanks and regards.
