binary to text?

[Bert]

Does anyone have a way to convert a binary string to text? I want to store my password to a program in a ini file, but I wanted to put it in a binary form so if someone looked at it, they most likely wouldn't know what it is. I was thinking of even splitting the password in 2 pieces to make it more secure.

For example: If my password was autoit, the binary would be 01100001011101010111010001101111011010010111010000110011

I could split it so it would be like this: (ini listed first)

[section]

au = 0110000101110101

to = 0111010001101111

it3 = 011010010111010000110011

$a = $a = iniread("file", "section", "au", "")
$b = iniread("file", "section", "to", "")
$c = iniread("file", "section", "it3", "")
$convert1 = _convertbinarytotext($a)
$convert2 = _convertbinarytotext($B)
$convert3 = _convertbinarytotext($c)
msgbox(0, "password is:", $convert1 & $convert2 & $convert3)

_convertbinarytotext is the function that would convert the binary to text. I searched thru the help file and the forum, but no luck. Any direction would be helpful

found this UDF but it it doesn't work properly. Perhaps it can give you ideas however.
