MATLAB: Char to cell array of strings

arraycell arraycell arraysstringstrings

how do I convert a 1x n char to be split (by the first letter through the last number before the next letter) into cells of an array and become strings

1xn char: BL35.3563.253663.255.25622BL52.53532.1515.45354.2BL343545.454.3.215.1

to become 1×3 cell aray

BL35.3563.253663.255.25622

BL52.53532.1515.45354.2

BL343545.454.3.215.1

(each to be a string in the cell array)

Best Answer

output = regexp(c,'BL[\d.]*','match');

where c is your input character array.

That will actually give a cell array of character arrays. If you want to convert that to a cell array of strings, then

output2 = string(output);

MATLAB: I have a char data. I want to extract first column from this char data.

If out1 is your string:

pgs = char(regexp(out1,'p\.\d+','match'));

Note that this requires out1 be a 1xn array, which it looks like it is. The reason for the char command is that regexp returns a cell array of matching strings. If a cell array works for you, just remove the char function.

I would just do something like this:

SK_BL_Cell{k} = SK_BL(:,k);
F_out_BL_Cell{k} = F_out_BL(:,k);
Thresh_BL_Cell{k} = Thresh_BL(k,:);
