loading a 2-d boolean array from a text file

[dvanan]

Hi,
I am trying to load a 2-D boolean array from a text
or spread sheet file .
each line/row consists of 8 bit data in binary format.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.TKS.

Can you post an example of the file?

Hi Mike ,

The file would look like this :

11111010
11010101
11111111
00000000
and so on until 50 bytes.

I could also use a spreadsheet file using eight columns and fifty rows..

Thanks .

See if this is what you're looking for. Using your text example, the first row of the Boolean array will be True, True, True, True, True, False, True, True. The second row will be True, True, False, True, False, True, False, True, etc.

Hi Dennnis,
Perfect solution.
Exactly what I was looking for.
Just had to seperate the binary data in the text file using tabs to spread the data across columns 0 to 7.

Thanks a lot !
