MATLAB: How to call function using list element

Question

I want to call function using list(array) element.

example :

list = {'sub_function','semi_function'};

function_list = split(list);

test = string(algoritm_list(1));

test(handles);

function sub_function(handles)

disp("sub_function")

But I can't call function this way.

how?… is it impossible??..

Answer 1

Use str2func, e.g.:

function test()
C = {'sub1','sub2'};
F = cellfun(@str2func,C,'uni',0);
for k = 1:numel(F)
    F{k}()
end
end
function sub1()
    disp('hello')
end
function sub2()
    disp('world')
end

Which when I run it, displays this in the command window:

>> test()
hello
world
