8bit binary sub string to unsigned integer in matlab

Hi guys, Im trying to implement a function that its input is 8bit substring and output is a unsigned integer number of the given 8bit substring, in other words I want to

implement a function that give it binary substring byte (8bit binary number substring - its type is string) and output is an unsigned integer that this substring valued !

for example: lets assume I have this input: substring='00000001' => output=1 in unsigned integer (unsigned decimal) , I mean by unsigned .. there's no negative ..

could anyone help me how can I implement that in matlab?

lets assume that the function is called conversion(input1) , and input1 is the given binary substring as I showed in my example above.
