suppose i have a cell array a(1*256). let all cell elements are converted to binary and the first element is let it be10010100(8Bit)in the cell array. i want to compare each cell element with some other binary number let 10000000(8Bit) and store it.

suppose i have a cell array a(1*256). let all cell elements are converted to binary and the first element is let it be 10010100(8Bit). i want to compare each cell element with some other binary number let 00000001 or 10000000 (8Bit) and if a(1)==00000001 or 10000000,then store it in another matrix or array i.e p(1)=00000001 else p(1)=.10000000.. any body plz suggest the solution.

What is the rule? That if it matches one of the two then put it in p, and otherwise set the element in p to be '.' followed by the left to right reversal of the value?

actually the problem is like this....there is an array and the first element(converted to binary)is to be compared to one condition such as if it is i.e a(1)== 00000001 | 10000000 and x==0(binary) then p(1)=00000001 elseif a(1)==00000001 | 10000000 and x=1 then p(1)=10000000.
