public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String input "010010000110010101101100011011000

        char[] inputs = input.toCharArray();
        List<String> inputsAsWords = new ArrayList<String>();

        int wordLength = 8;
        int wordLettersinInput = input.length() / wordLength;
        int counter = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < wordLettersinInput; i++)
        {
            String Word = "";
            counter += wordLength;
            for (int k = i*wordLength; k < counter; k++  )
            {
                Word = Word + inputs[k];
            }

            inputsAsWords.add(Word);
        }

        for (String word: inputsAsWords)
        {
            System.out.print((char) Integer.parseInt(word, 2));
        }
    }
}

More kit going to the recycling, this time it was a broken card, folding at home is hard on cards, removed the cooler for other projects. I did find whilst throwing rubbish out my old TIM-clean. TIM-clean, citrus based solvent that is actually friendly compared to isopropyl alcohol and effective.
