30 Nov 2006	Antoni J. Canós	Good job. Maybe some checking instructions are needed. It would be nice if you also submitted the "opposite" function eng2num!.
18 Nov 2010	Lars Olav Vestland	A similar funtion can found at : http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/20950-num2str-with-metric-prefix which have spacing between the SI-prefix and number, (as it should have).
