MATLAB: Importing large binary information

binaryMATLAB

Hi,
I have a text file with a large number of binary information formed into groups of 10 bits, were each group is either separated by spaces.
The data looks something like this:
0001101111 0001101111 0001101111 0001001011 0001001011 0001001011 
0001101111 0001101111 0001101111 0001001011 0001001011 0001001011 
0001111011 0001111011 0001111011 0001011010 0001011010 0001011010 
0001111011 0001111011 0001111011 0001011010 0001011010 0001011010 
.

.
No what I want to do is, to import this information into an integer array of sized (x by 10) in matlab, where the 10-bit bytes are inserted into the array in an raster fashion.
i.e. I want the bytes sequenced as follow in the text file
1 2 3 4 
5 6 7 8
to be inserted into the array as
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
Many Thanks,

fid = fopen('file.txt');
line1 = fgetl(fid);
res={line1};
while ischar(line1)
  line1 = fgetl(fid);
  if ischar(line1)
      res{end+1} =line1
  end
end
fclose(fid);
a=cell2mat(cellfun(@(x) cell2mat(regexp(x,' ','split')'),res,'un',0)')
%If you want the result in a cell array
a=cellstr(a)
