Dear ygor,

thank u for your reply,

but according to your code you assiged the data to one variable.

from that variable you are spliting the data.

but my requirement is i have this data in one file.

from that file i have to read each hexadecimal data and convert it in to binary.

i hope that my problem is understood to u.

regards
rajan
