Binary matching

[Inswitch Solutions - Erlang Evaluation]

Does someone know why the following binary matching fails?
 <<X:7/binary, Rest/binary>> = <<0>>

Is there an elegant way to group an octect binary in seven bits values?
For example eight characters (1 character = 1 byte) in seven octects.


thanks,
