Binary search

[Rudy Schockaert]

Sorry guys if I caused so much confusion. I did indeed cancel my first post
as I noticed myself that 'binary search' would cause confusion. What I
actually was looking for was 'searching for a binary sequence in binary
data'.
Martin Lowis gave me the correct code. I was simply not aware I could use
the built in function 'find' on binary data with a binary argument.
