adding zeros to a binary string

Hello! This is my problem : i need to convert uint8 variables in binary ones but with 8 bits. Now, if the binary number does not have 8 bit, how can i add zero on the left, without changing the number? Does exist a MAtlab Function for this?

example

uint8 = 62
binary = dec2bin(62)     
           binary = 111110 -> 6 bit

instead i want 8 bit, so something like 00111110

When you have problems with a command, here dec2bin, reading the documentation is a good idea:

help dec2bin
doc dec2bin

i've solved the problem on my own, reading the dec2bin dpcumentation more carefully, sorry for the stupid question :D thank you!! ^^

binary = dec2bin(62, 8)

you are right! I've already solved the problem on my own, reading more carefully the documentation about dec2bin function :D thank u
