Better? In what sense??

You indicate you are new to Matlab; you have to start learning how to read the
documentation and putting things together for yourself. If we show you all the
details, what you will learn is how to mooch off of other people rather than
how to help yourself.

Read through the documentation for the four commands I listed. One of them
converts to binary. What kind of input does that command need? Does another of
the commands allow you to convert from what you have already to what you need
in order to convert to binary? If so, then experiment with putting the two
commands together.
