binary to string

if i want convert binary to text:as s = ('101011101011010101011010'); then i want convert eaceh 8bit to character when use function bin2str(s); give error: "can not convert more than 52 bit" it consider "s" one character but i want for examble: S = '101011101011010101011010'; [a,b] =size(s) a=1 b=24; I want convert s to 3characters as output is==>'abc'

a = reshape(s-'0',[],3)'
out = sprintf('%d',(a*(2.^(size(a,2)-1:-1:0).'))')

OR

a = reshape(s,[],3)'
out = sprintf('%d',bin2dec(a)')

How about this:

S = '101011101011010101011010'
S = reshape(S, length(S)/8, 8)
decimalValues = bin2dec(S)

In the command window:

S =
101011101011010101011010
S =
10100100
01011011
11110110
decimalValues =
   164
    91
   246

ok this is fine .. it is giving the decimal values. now what should i do to get string by these bits?
