OMR reading

[mcnewsxp]

anybody ever do any work with OMR readers?
i could use a few lines of code.
MSComm reads the cards fine, but i don't know how to parse the input.
the couple of examples that come with the reader don't help...

The input from the readers we work with is simply a string of ones and
zeros, a one meaning that there was a mark at that position on the sheet, a
zero meaning there was no mark. Parsing it consists of using lots of Mid$()
calls to determine whether the character at a specified position in the
string is a one or a zero.

just a continuous string of 1s and 0s?
so you count to determine row and column position?
