Command for all conversion function in matlab

[Sprinceana]

Is there a general command in command window to display all conversion functions used in matlab:

Text and Strings
abs convert string to ASCII values
eval evaluate text macro
num2str convert number to string
int2str convert integer to string
setstr set flag indicating matrix is a string
sprintf convert number to string
isstr detect string variables
strcomp compare string variables
hex2num convert hex string to number

>>help ...?

For example for displaying all function for sparse matrix was:

>>help sparfun

Also conversions like:

hex2num,dec2bin,bin2dec what i must use in command window to display also these?

>>help ...?

I wait your response!

I don't think there is a function that does exactly what you want, but you can use lookfor to help search for certain words in the H1 line:

lookfor string
lookfor text
lookfor convert

also

docsearch string
docsearch text

etc....

just a note
- while it works, ABS is not the (preferred) way to convert char strings to ASCII values
- it works because it - silently - does the DOUBLE conversion for you (see below)

% rather, use proper typecasting...
s='abc'
v=double(s)
v=int16(s)
% and so on
% see also:
help datatypes;

a hint:

lookfor convert;
docsearch convert; % then sort according to product...
docsearch conversion;
