Hello guys,
I have a .BIN file that looks like this when opened in Matlab:
I would like to convert this to a HEX file with this kind of shape (this is from a HEX editor):
The 2 are not linked together, I just took portions of the file to show. How can I do such transformation so I can work with HEX data in Matlab?
Thanks!

Thanks for your answer! So I wrote the following script, but I don't get the same HEX values as my HEX editor. I don't see what's wrong tho:
fopen('file.bin')
fread(ans)
dec2hex(ans)
code=reshape(ans,32,[])'
This gives me a matrix with the correct number of rows and columns but the values don't match!
EDIT: seems like the issue is during the reshaping process. Will investigate.
EDIT 2: works now, thanks!
