Printing bit patterns

So I am to be making a "bit pattern that will have 7 rows. I am having trouble drawing any letters with 1's and 0's while I can only use if or else statements, parse.Int, and compareTo as the instructions say. The program needs to change every 1 to an "X" and every 0 to a space. Is there a specific way to do this? For now it just endlessly loops. Thanks for any and all help. Here is my code thus far:

public static void main(String[] args) 
{
    String r1 = ("1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0");
    String r2 = ("0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0");
    String r3 = ("0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0");
    String r4 = ("0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0");
    String r5 = ("0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0");
    String r6 = ("0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0");
    String r7 = ("0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0");

    dr(r1);
    dr(r2);
    dr(r3);
    dr(r4);
    dr(r5);
    dr(r6);
    dr(r7);
}
public static void dr(String s)
{
    int i = 0;
    while(i < 1)
    {
    String[] tokens = s.split(" ");
    if (tokens[0].compareTo("0") == 0)
        System.out.println("X");
    else if (tokens[1].compareTo("1") == 1)
        System.out.println(" ");
    }
}

The easiest way to do it in your case is something like this:

String data = "1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0";
String out = data.replaceAll("1,? ?","X").replaceAll("0,? ?", " "));

I will suggest that you assign each letter a value (Your bits), and then storing them in an array...

We need the code.
