No need to encode each bit as one character, just make your example decimal "117", then Davide can just treat it as a number and do logical bit operations on it instead of having to do string operations. The reason is if there is 100 bits that's alot of 1's and 0's but as a decimal number it is relatively small. Or make it Hex "75".
