How can I convert a string of alphabetical characters to a vector of their numerical equivalent ie A->1, B->2 etc

1 view (last 30 days)
I need to find a way to quickly convert large lists of dictionary words into a vector of integers corresponding to the letters number in the alphabet (1-26). ie. 'BAT' -> [2 1 20]. What is the best way to achieve this result? Thanks in advance for your help!
