Strings of characters

Hey, I'm a first year undergraduate, new to matlab, and so am not familiar with many of it's functions.

I have a question involving a string of characters, ie '0123456789' and I can have a working solution if I can select the nth number along, ie here the 5th number = 4.

Is there a simple way to do this, or for example a way to turn '0123456789' into the array [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]?

The nth character of a string is

StringName(n)

To convert a string containing the characters of digits, in to an array with the corresponding numeric digits, use

StringName - '0'
