CHALLENGE DESCRIPTION

SOLUTION

We try to see the file, but there is something inside but we can not see.

We search for space character ` ` in the file, and we see that it’s not only space, but something like tab and more.

So the idea is replace space with 1 and tab with 0

with open('whitepages.txt', 'r') as file:
    content = file.read()

converted = ''.join(['1' if char == ' ' else '0' for char in content])

print(converted)

We get binary string, decode it.
