What does this mean

My 2011 MacBook Pro (10.10.3) went off to be mended by Apple under their official dead graphics card deal.

It came back and works fine apart from this message that turns up at Start Up in Text Edit.

Does anyone know what it means?

All I know you could put in a thimble and have room left over: it's some kind of binary string. Helpful, aren't I?

Hopefully someone with a lot more coding savvy will drop in and tell what it is and how to get rid of it.

I just had a thought ... is that possibly a document that was saved on your MacBook Pro? Try right clicking on the icon of the paper to the left of the string of numbers that being 95285 and see if it shows you where it stored. If it's on your drive, then you can trash it. I'd also check your system prefs (System Prefs / Users / Login items) to see if it's set to auto open on start up, and if so, deselect that.

It looks like a piece of program code; like a call to a procedure.  I'm years out of date on programming but the "bplist" and "vclass" look like lines of code!

It's code alright but as to exactly what I sure don't know. I did find reference to the first line at several places where coding was discussed so it is apparently an often used string possibly referencing a plist that is intended to archive information.

Thank you for all your replies. Next time is pops up, I will have a more in-depth look.
