Don't expect you to believe me but I'm not a student and this isn't homework. That being said, I have a dataset that I've converted to binary representation using unpack. I've removed a few words that were not part of the randomized stream. What I have left needs to be ran through a self syncrounous shift register. If someone could point me to a module or something that would get me started that would be great. Sorry for the hastle, bottom line is I just don't know enough math.
