How to apply dec2bin on a string to get a single output?

I want to convert decimal into binary .

Since my data is in string like

a = '56515219790691171413109057904011688695424810155802929973526481321309856242040'

I have tried dec2bin(a), but it gives output in different rows,

I need the following output

dec2bin(56515219790691171413109057904011688695424810155802929973526481321309856242040)

ans='111110011110010011110110001100010001101000000110101000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000'

But I'm not getting the same output by dec2bin(a).

Furthermore, I have to convert all the rows in to binary by importing a .txt file. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanking in anticipation.

a =  '56515219790691171413109057904011688695424810155802929973526481321309856242040';
a1=cell2mat(split(a,' '));
a2=str2double(a1);
% check=dec2bin(5,6)
out=dec2bin(a2)

out = '111110011110010011110110001100010001101000000110101000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000'

writematrix(out,'sampletable.txt')

Thank you very much.

@Arif Hoq I want to apply the above in the file, please by importing it.

I Have tried;

Let A be the data imported

a1=cell2mat(split(A,' '));

a2=str2double(a1);

out=dec2bin(a2)

But not geeting it

[Stephen23]

This code contains many superfluous steps.

Note that SPLIT does not split any text, it just places the character vector in a scalar cell:

a = '56515219790691171413109057904011688695424810155802929973526481321309856242040';
c = split(a,' ')

c = 1×1 cell array
    {'56515219790691171413109057904011688695424810155802929973526481321309856242040'}

after that the CELL2MAT simply returns exactly the same character vector:

a1 = cell2mat(c)

a1 = '56515219790691171413109057904011688695424810155802929973526481321309856242040'

isequal(a,a1)

ans = logical
   1

So there is no point in any of that code, it literally does nothing.

The entire answer can be replaced by this much simpler code, which gives exactly the same output:

out = dec2bin(str2double(a))

out = '111110011110010011110110001100010001101000000110101000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000'

@Stephen Thank you very much for your valuable comment, may I please request you how can I apply this command on the above attached file, I want to convert each row of above attached file into binary. Also how can I vote your answer as there is no option with your comment.

[Arif Hoq]

@Ammy

try this code for your attachment.

A=readtable('Test.txt','ReadVariableNames', false);
Output=dec2bin(table2array(A))

Output = 20×256 char array

stephen, you are right. i was in a hurry while coding. i just checked the result not the coding size. Thank you very much for the hints.
