in reply to Challenge: Reading Banner Text

My preference was to generate each character, one by one, split the seven lines and use them as a 7-dimensional hash key leading to the resultant character. I would simply got through all 255 characters of ASCII. Of course, if they can use Unicode, you have a problem.

Then read the file, 7 lines at a time, get 8 character wide substrings from each line, and look up the corresponding character.

As Occam said: Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem.
