How do I open a file in its pure content?

[Addez]

A computer is just 1/0s. Everyone knows that..
But is there a method in java for opening any file (txt,exe,dll) so that It appears in a string full off 1 and 0 s?
So Of a txt file containing Hello World, if I use that (the function im asking for) then It will return String "101011010101011101011010001101101010011011010 "
Or something simular..

Is there a way to do this?

For what purposes?

See the methods in FileInputStream

Read it using an InputStream (not a Reader) byte for byte using Integer.toBinaryString on each byte.

Kay thnx =)
Now I have (think so) successfully converted a txt file into pure bites which all lies in one single string..
How do I get it back?
Cause now I must reconvert that file so that the evil monkey in my closet doesn't beat me down again!
Help me please!!
I really ahve no clue what to do! And the monkey is outrageus!

you should really seek the answers on search engines. you're more looking for answers that lie in the api's than for solutions to actual problems.
