Convert binary to ASCII and vice versa

Question

Using this code to take a string and convert it to binary:

bin(reduce(lambda x, y: 256*x+y, (ord(c) for c in \'hello\'), 0))

this outputs:<

Answer 1

if you don'y want to import any files you can use this:

with open("Test1.txt", "r") as File1:
St = (' '.join(format(ord(x), 'b') for x in File1.read()))
StrList = St.split(" ")

to convert a text file to binary.

and you can use this to convert it back to string:

StrOrgList = StrOrgMsg.split(" ")


for StrValue in StrOrgList:
    if(StrValue != ""):
        StrMsg += chr(int(str(StrValue),2))
print(StrMsg)

hope that is helpful, i've used this with some custom encryption to send over TCP.
