I had to put in some extra logic to remove them. PostgreSQL doesn't allow null bytes at all, so it throws an error when it encounters one. I will say that if you plan for a dozen ways that something can fail, it will find a thirteenth!

Thank you! Eventually I would like to get all kinds of scientific data aggregated so that people can easily find data, run various filters, etc. It's a long road but I get a little closer each day and with each line of code.

Me, too! IT / Software engineering is a constantly evolving field and there are new concepts and technologies constantly evolving. It's a lot of fun to be in this industry but it is also very demanding intellectually -- always trying to keep up with the latest advancements, etc
