MATLAB: Convert class ‘char’ to class ‘logical’ , How

Question

I have some binary bits in a string of class 'char':

b= 10001010101010101000000111110000111

I wish to covert class of 'b' from 'char' to 'logical'.

When i use str2num function, it considers all the bits as a single number and returns me

str2num(b)

ans =

1.0001e+034

Which i don't want. i want b as a logical array.

Kindly Help.

b_bin = logical(b(:)'-'0')
