Message: [QUOTE="Moerderin, post: 574320"] I understand that java 2 can read bytes, and then it can also write a new file writing just those bytes, but i need java to go farther than that. i have to write a program that reads bits catagorized into groups of information then store it in a database using "pointers" ie | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10| 11| 12| 13| 14| 15| 16| | Temperature | Thermometer reading in centegrades|therm. name| thats just an example i made up right now, so how would i have a java program read bits 1-4 store the info somewhere, then read bits 5-13 and store it somewhere else, and so on and so forth. if anyone has previously written coding for this type of task or has any wonderful ideas on how to accomplish it i would be much appreciated. thnx.
