Text='sufiyanghori'; %This is the text to hide.
wavename = 'haar';
% Matrix equals to the lengh of message.
data = zeros(1,length(Text));
% length of Text = 19
% Now lets store the message in to the Matrix of size 1x19 but we need to
% first convert the message into ASCII characters.
% Adding zero to each character of message will convert it
% into its ASCII equivalent.
for i = 1 : length(Text)
d = Text(i) + 0; % for example -> r + 0 = 114 (ASCII of r)
% Now store all the ASCII value into a single matrix
data(i) = d;
% Output =>
%[71 114 97 115 115 104 111 112 112 101 114 32 78 101 116 119 111 114 107]
