MATLAB: Cell2mat error due to element size

Question

Hi everyone.

I am getting the following error when I try to convert the cell array to a double.

C = 
'104'
'98'
'98'
'98'
'94'
'94'
'100'
'100'
loadrange = str2num(cell2mat(C))
Error using cat
Dimensions of matrices being concatenated are not consistent.
Error in cell2mat (line 83)
            m{n} = cat(1,c{:,n});

I believe the error is due to the number of elements not being the same size. Is there a way around this?

Thanks!

Use str2double() instead.

C={'104',
    '98',
    '98',
    '98',
    '94',
    '94',
    '100',
    '100'};
loadrange = str2double(C)
loadrange =
     104
      98
      98
      98
      94
      94
     100
     100
