It is very unclear to me what it is you want to do here. Are the
"14 character strings" to be found in your original data set? Or
are they found in the plot you seem to have made using Java?

If the "14 character strings" are in the original data set, what
defines the strings you want other than length?

If the goal is to simply find strings 14 characters long with
some pre-specified pattern, there are more efficient techniques
than using wavelet based filters. For example:

generate some data

data = RandomInteger[{0, 1}, 4096];

then the following finds all sequences of length 14 starting
with 8 1's

Cases[Partition[data, 14, 1], {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, __}]

First, you could more clearly state what you want to achieve.

I have that package and I have found it quite useful.
Additionally, the manual that came with it was clear and
informative. But since it is not at all clear to me what you are
trying to do, I can't really determine if this package would be
useful for you or not.
