It cannot have number 7 in it if it is in base 7. Otherwise you would do it like this: base2dec('26625',7)

Thank you very much ... Also what is the difference between having = 'xxxxx' and simply xxxx (without the inverted commas) ?

You are welcome! :-) The syntax is: d = base2dec('strn', base); It has to be a string (that's why the ''), as for example higher than 10 base numbers have letters in them e.g. base 16 has abcdef characters in the numbers.

Base 7 uses seven symbols. Traditionally, and in matlab, these are digits 0 to 6.
