Hy my question is that I have a string like x = 1000 I want to convert it into matrix like 1 0 0 0. Can you please guide me how to convert it.

[John D'Errico]

Is x a character vector, or a string vector? If char, do this:

x = '1000';
y = x - '0';

If a string, you could simply convert to character. Thus,

x = "1000";
y = char(x) - '0';

Other ways I am sure.
