title: Matlab char to double vector
body: <p>Is there an easy way to convert a char array to a vector?
  for example, 
  I have this</p>
  
  <p>my_array = &lt;1*64 char></p>
  
  <p>and it is full of "1010101010..."</p>
  
  <p>I want it to be:</p>
  
  <p>my_vector = [1 0 1 0 1 0....]</p>
  
  <p>is there any function that makes it possible without me writing any code? thanks</p>
