The concept of compression comes from the need to store data using as less space as possible and to ease transfer of data through a channel.The proposed algorithm deals with compression of text files using character replacement technique.For every string of length six, it is compressed by assigning a single character to it, maintaining a dictionary.The dictionary is used to decompress the encoded file.This gives a good compression ratio irrespective of the content of the text file.
