    read bit's from any file

    Hi, i want to read bit-to-bit from a file, and do comparison's with that.

    something like this:

    int Y = 1;
    int X = 0;

    read from file ( text or binary)
    X = 1 bit, and do the comparison, if (X) find 1, else find 0.
    or
    read 4 bits to X and
    if (X == 1001) be happy
    else nothing.....

    how can i do that ??

    The smallest amount of data you can read from a file is one byte. Once you have that byte in memory, you can use bitwise operations on it in the normal manner

    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
