## @deftypefn {Function File} {} hex2dec (@var{s})
## Return the integer corresponding to the hexadecimal number represented by
## the string @var{s}.
##
## For example:
##
## @example
## @group
## hex2dec ("12B")
##       @result{} 299
## hex2dec ("12b")
##       @result{} 299
## @end group
## @end example
##
## If @var{s} is a string matrix, return a column vector with one converted
## number per row of @var{s}; Invalid rows evaluate to NaN@.
##
## If @var{s} is a cell array of strings, return a column vector with one
## converted number per cell element in @var{s}.
