Weird empty blank space in capture (0x20)

0

Hey guys, have any of you came across with something similar to this? What could these refer to?

Why is there lots of 20 hexs, not "00" when they are basically empty blank space. Also, there's a few dots in between the blank space.

It's text based, not binary, so empty is defined by whitespace, which is char 0x20 (among others).

The 'dots' you refer to are the end-of-line (line feed in this case) markers.
