The best thing to do is dump the database into a text file.

Log into your webserver and run

mysqldump databasename > file.txt

mysqldump comes standard with mysql installations. You may need to modify the above a bit if you need to provide username/password authentication.

Then download the file.txt file and you can use any text editor you wish.

mysqldump provides several options to allow you to manipulate the format of the text too if it is necessary for you.

I'm not away of any programs that can parse a MySQL db file directory (besides MySQL itself).
