How to convert a vector of integers to a vector of characters?

Hi - I have a vector of ints, typically 0/1, like this:

[0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1]

and I want to get this:

['0' '0' '0' '0' '1' '0' '0' '0' '0' '1']

But I cannot figure it out for the life of me. I'm sure it's simple. Thanks for your time and help.

Another method for single digits:

A = [0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1];
B = char(A+'0');

 A = [0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1];
 B = num2str(A);

Now B is a vector of characters

Hi Wayne -- I knew of num2str and tried that, but it turns out you're right. But what I figured out was that it was the extra spaces in the result of num2str that was throwing me off. i.e. num2str([0 0 0 0 0]) = '0 0 0 0 0', which is length 9 or something (but not 5). I removed the spaces from the result of num2str and it worked great. Thanks for the help.

glad it helped

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

a = [0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1];
y=arrayfun(@(x) cellstr(num2str(x)),a)

% To get any character

y{4} % for e.g

Instead of removing the spaces from the output of num2str, you can create string without spaces directly:

a = [0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1];
s = sprintf('%d', a);

Another fast but more strange method is:

s = char('0' + a);
