Merge array to a number

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 ?

Answer 1

[Andrei Bobrov]

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

Answer 2

[Zhao g-liang]

what about this x=1:5; 10.^(x(end:-1:1)-1)*x'

[Walter Roberson]

Better to use

10.^(length(x)-1:1:0)*x.'

If the poster could rely upon x being consecutive digits then the poster could just use '0' + (x(1):x(end))

Answer 3

[Walter Roberson]

str2double(num2str(x))

[Raviteja]

Is this working?
