Get binary value of any file

Suppose I have a file such as music.mp3 or image.jpg or any file to be considered. How do i get the binary representation of those files to a string value in matlab or octave so that i can view it ?? and how to parse the string and write back to a file???

Eg: Suppose I have file called 'video.mp4' then it must be represented as 101011010101000111010 or something like that in memory i need to get the value and store it in String like String s = "101011010101000111010", "101011010101000111010" to 'video.mp4'

Does anyone have any idea on how to do this in matlab or octave ?????

Try getting the numbers then use dec2bin() to convert the numerical number into a binary string.

I have to het the numbers in a array or vector?

I don't know what "het" means, but the values will be in a character array (row vector):

>> str = dec2bin(14)
str =
1110
