ascii to binary, binary to ascii

hello matlab lovers :)

x = dec2bin('enginering');

x =

1100101

1101110

1100111

1101001

1101110

1100101

1100101

1110010

1101001

1101110

1100111

y = reshape(x',1,numel(x));

y =

11001011101110110011111010011101110110010111001011110010110100111011101100111

and i will send this data from transmitter to receiver...when the receiver receives the data,it will convert y to word of engineering data and i will see word of engineering on the monitor...

that is what i mean;

how can i get back word of engineering from string of y in matlab?

pls help me...

Answer 1

[Matt Fig]

char(bin2dec(reshape(y,7,[]).')).'

Answer 2

[Walter Roberson]

bin2dec(reshape(y,7,[]).')

[Kayvan Ray]

I used that but got this Error! What's the Problem?!

Error using reshape Product of known dimensions, 7, not divisible into total number of elements, 720.

Your data is 8 bit wide not 7. The person who asked the question failed to specify the number of bits of output in the dec2bin() call, so it was automatically chosen as the smallest number of bits needed to represent the characters.

In short:

bin2dec(reshape(y,8,[]).')
