Convert a string of binary into an ASCII string (C++)

Question

I have a string variable containing 32 bits of binary. What would be the best way to convert these 4 characters (8 bits is one character) represented by the binary back into the

Answer 1

Try using this with method. Example:

#include 
#include 
#include 
using namespace std;

string BinaryStringToText(string binaryString) {
    string text = "";
    stringstream sstream(binaryString);
    while (sstream.good())
    {
        bitset<8> bits;
        sstream >> bits;
        text += char(bits.to_ulong());
    }
    return text;
}

int main()
{
    string binaryString = "0100100001100101011011000110110001101111001000000101011101101111011100100110110001100100";
    cout << "Binary string: " << binaryString << "!\n";
    cout << "Result binary string to text: " << BinaryStringToText(binaryString) << "!\n";

    return 0;
}

result code:

Binary string: 0100100001100101011011000110110001101111001000000101011101101111011100100110110001100100!                                                                                                  
Result binary string to text: Hello World!
