Converting a String representation of bits to a byte

Question

I\'m just beginning to learn about file compression and I\'ve run into a bit of a roadblock. I have an application that will encode a string such as \"program\" as a compressed

Answer 1

I guess, you want to write these zeros and ones as binary values in a file. I so, you can iterate the string taking 8 signs everytime (String.substring() or smth) and create bytes with Byte(String) constructor. It's the easiest solution that comes to my mind for now.

If i'm not right about the problem, tell more about it please.
