Greetings,
You might try something like this...
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
void main(void)
{
FILE *fpin;
char cread;
char chi;
char clo;
if( (fpin = fopen("FILENAME","r")) == NULL){
printf("Cannot Open File\n");
exit(1);
}
while( (cread = fgetc(fpin)) != EOF){
clo = cread & 15;
chi = cread & 240;
/* Do your thing here */
}
flclose(fpin);
}
You could read the 4-bit values into an array, or use them two at a
time.

P.S. No, I didn't test this code, and I am not 100% sure about the bit
twiddling.
