function x=bin2dec2(s)
%BIN2DEC Convert binary string to decimal integer.
%   X = BIN2DEC(B) interprets the binary string B and returns in X the
%   equivalent decimal number.  
%
%   If B is a character array, or a cell array of strings, each row is
%   interpreted as a binary string. 
%   Embedded, significant spaces are removed. Leading spaces are converted to
%   zeros.
%
%   Example
%       bin2dec('010111') returns 23
%       bin2dec('010 111') also returns 23
%       bin2dec(' 010111') also returns 23
