Re: read numbers

You could pattern match on the "0" and "1" directly...

parse(Data) -> parse(Data, []).
parse(<<"0", Rest/binary>>, Acc) ->
    [false | parse(Rest, Acc)];
parse(<<"1", Rest/binary>>, Acc) ->
    [true | parse(Rest, Acc)];
parse(<<$\n, Rest/binary>>, Acc) ->
    parse(Rest, Acc);
parse(<<>>, Acc) -> Acc.
