XSL1 can only read XML files, although you can easily make an xml file
wrapper around your text

if you have a file.txt that you know doesn't have any < or or > & characters
in it then you can make a file.xml that looks like

<!DOCTYPE vector [
<!ENTITY x SYSTEM "file.txt">
]]>
<vector>&x;</vector>


then in your xxslt you can go

<xsl:copy-of select="document('file.xml')"/>

and will get


<vector>
10101010101010101111010101010
10101011100001010101010101010
00011010101010101010101011011
</vector>


as the result.

I have no idea what you mean here, you can have any structure you want
for example to express the matrix in mathml you'd have something like


<matrix>
  <matrixrow>
    <cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn>
  </matrixrow>
  <matrixrow>
    <cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn>
  </matrixrow>
  <matrixrow>
    <cn>0</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>0</cn><cn>1</cn><cn>1</cn>
  </matrixrow>
