    Try it and see. What result do you get? Are you happy with it? If yes, then you're done! (Of course, I'm not saying there is no other possible pack/unpack/reverse/sprintf/substr/whatever incantation that would do as well or better; see Convert ASCII string to 7-bit binary string for a recent, eerily similar discussion.)
