I was wondering how to make it so I can load the binary of any file
so say I have a file called,
file1.qra
(qra is made up)
and the binary contents of it are:
011000010110001001100011
I wanna be able to load the binary
contents in any file to python,
and with file1.qra
it would return a string:
011000010110001001100011

so, how do I do this?

just open the file as mode 'rb'

so i have the file:
file1.txt
and its contents are:
abc
this is what i did

with open(file1.txt, 'rb') as f: # Open data input file
     f_contents = f.read()
     print(f_contents)

and it gave me this:
b'abc'
when I printed f_contents

Quote:load the binary of any file

I took above to mean you wanted to open the file in binary mode.
I think what you're saying is that you want to display the contents of a text file as binary.
Coorrect?

Read a file content in a binary mode - and the convert every byte with a secret (just kidding) bin function
