## @deftypefn {Function File} {} base2dec (@var{s}, @var{base})
## Convert @var{s} from a string of digits in base @var{base} to a decimal
## integer (base 10).
##
## @example
## @group
## base2dec ("11120", 3)
##    @result{} 123
## @end group
## @end example
##
## If @var{s} is a string matrix, return a column vector with one value per
## row of @var{s}.  If a row contains invalid symbols then the
## corresponding value will be NaN@.
##
## If @var{s} is a cell array of strings, return a column vector with one
## value per cell element in @var{s}.
##
## If @var{base} is a string, the characters of @var{base} are used as the
## symbols for the digits of @var{s}.  Space (' ') may not be used as a
## symbol.
##
## @example
## @group
## base2dec ("yyyzx", "xyz")
##    @result{} 123
## @end group
## @end example
## @seealso{dec2base, bin2dec, hex2dec}
## @end deftypefn
