MATLAB: Help with dec2hex (case sensitive and Zero)

Question

Hi everyone:

I have a problem related to the command dec2hex, I have issues with things like 0F where I wanted to be f, the problem with the 0 and with the capital F. Check the variables WhatIget and WhatIwant

I am attaching the code:

clc; clear;

CarsNum={'10','11','12','13','14','15','16','17'};

CarsDecimal=str2double(CarsNum);

CarsHex=dec2hex(CarsDecimal);

Pattern={'Car:Slot:'};

WhatIget=strcat(Pattern,CarsHex);

WhatIwant = {'Car:Slot:a','Car:Slot:b','Car:Slot:c','Car:Slot:d','Car:Slot:e','Car:Slot:f','Car:Slot:10','Car:Slot:11'};

I really appreciate your help.

Answer 1

You could change the line:

CarsHex=dec2hex(CarsDecimal);

to:

CarsHex=lower(arrayfun(@(x) (dec2hex(x)), CarsDecimal, 'UniformOutput', false));
