## @deftypefn {Function File} {} bin2dec (@var{s})
## Return the decimal number corresponding to the binary number represented
## by the string @var{s}.
##
## For example:
##
## @example
## @group
## bin2dec ("1110")
##      @result{} 14
## @end group
## @end example
##
## Spaces are ignored during conversion and may be used to make the binary
## number more readable.
##
## @example
## @group
## bin2dec ("1000 0001")
##      @result{} 129
## @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}.
