MATLAB: Merge array to a number

mergemerge array

I want to merge an array to a number. i.e., if

>>x=1:5;
do some operation on x and get the result like
>>y=12345

for that I have written this code…

x=1:5;
y=0;
for i=1:length(x)
y=y*10+x(i);
end

Is there any short way to do this ?

str2double(sprintf('%d',x))

Try this

x = [
    1 0 0 1 0
    0 1 0 0 0
    0 0 0 0 1
    1 0 0 1 1];
x = char(x+'0');
y = str2num(x)

Result

Or a faster solution

x = [
    1 0 0 1 0
    0 1 0 0 0
    0 0 0 0 1
    1 0 0 1 1];
y = x*10.^(size(x,2)-1:-1:0)';

str = cellstr(char('This','Orthis'))
x = round(rand(10,1))+1 
output = [repmat('some text ',10,1) char(str(x))]
