Adobe Illustrator Color Overlay of Text
I need to know how to overlay a color on top of text in a specific shape in illustrator CS4 and not have the shape visible.

example:

1100100101000101

1000100000100101

1100100101000101

I would then like to place a square or shape on top of the 1s and 0s and have the 1s and 0s take on the color of the shape. I'd also like the shape to not be visible except where it is coloring the text. I hope that made sense. Thanks!
