REMOVE SPACING IN A STRING

I want to convert my binary data into hex, the function that does so only that string as an input. but when I convert my 64 bit binary matrix into a string, it doesn't remove the spaces, which is messing my solution, any idea how to get rid of these
here is wat im talking about;
what i want: '0111001101100001011001000'
what i get: '0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0'

And what about vice versa???
what i want : ''0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0" like this from "01110000011100"??
S = "01110000011100"
S = "01110000011100"
regexprep(S, '(.)(?=.)', '$1 ')
ans = "0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0"
S = "01110000011100";
sprintf(" %c",S{1})
ans = " 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0"
But then you have to get rid of the leading space ;-)

% Add this code
A = '0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0' % Has spaces
A = A(find(~isspace(A)))
You get a string with no spaces:
A =
'0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0'
A =
'0111001101100001011001000'

The find() is not needed: A= A(~isspace(A)) is sufficient already.
thank you very much

@AYUSH VARSHNEY, try this:
str = '0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0'
% Make it like this form "01110000011100"
str(str == ' ') = []
@AYUSH VARSHNEY, it looks like all the spaces are now gone so I'm glad my code worked for you.
no no no... it won't work for me....the pic i showed to you is the string is without space...
which is like this = "000011101010001010011"
and what i want is the spaces between them .
like this = "0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0"
S = "01110000011100"
S = "01110000011100"
regexprep(S, '(.)(?=.)', '$1 ')
ans = "0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0"

As an alternative
A = '0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0'
A = strrep(A,' ','') % Replace space with null.
It's slightly faster than the current logical indexing answer I think.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
K>> A= '0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0'
A =
'0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0'
K>> tic; A= A(~isspace(A)); toc
Elapsed time is 0.000653 seconds.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
K>> A= '0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0'
A =
'0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0'
K>> tic; A = strrep(A,' ',''); toc
Elapsed time is 0.000098 seconds.

Just set locations with spaces equal to null:
% Generate sample string.
theString = '0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0'
% Now change existing string by setting locations with spaces equal to null.
theString(theString == ' ') = []
% Alternative method.
% Create a brand new string with a different name
% by extracting non-space elements.
stringWithoutSpaces = theString(theString ~= ' ')

requiredString = regexprep(theString, '\s+', '')

This also works on cell arrays containing strings! (at least as of version R2017a)
Example:
str = {'1 GC 2 H M', 'food nam nam';'hello world','meh bleb'};
requiredString = regexprep(str, '\s+', '')
requiredString =
2×2 cell array
'1GC2HM' 'foodnamnam'
'helloworld' 'mehbleb'
Thank you
its works.
Thank you @Akansha Saxena
