extract only text strip byte array

[Pir8Radio]

Try this:

msgs = [
    b'\x01\x80Q\x01\x00\x01\x12\x00\x00\x80Test Message 12345',
    b'7\x00\x00\x00You find many blocks, can you send me some coin please!',
    b'\x01T\x00\x00\x80{"market":"2","rate":"2600","account":"ltc1q3la84qedyf2745y8cel4wklgqalsvh8xjk7g2k"}'
]

for msg in msgs:
    txt = str(msg).split('\\')[-1][3:-1]
    print(txt)

results:

Output:
Test Message 12345
You find many blocks, can you send me some coin please!
{"market":"2","rate":"2600","account":"ltc1q3la84qedyf2745y8cel4wklgqalsvh8xjk7g2k"}

is it that easy? Man I'm the worst at splits.. can you talk through this? .split('\\')[-1][3:-1] looks like we split at \ then go back 3 what is the -1?
