MATLAB: How to change cell array into strings

cell strings

A ["an"] ["bn"] ["cn"] ["sb"]

How can I convert A into like this

'an' 'bn' 'cn' 'dn'

Best Answer

 cc = cellfun(@num2str,c,'uni',0)

if you have both string and numerics in cell array and you want to convert them all to char,

 cc = cell(size(c));
 for k=1:numel(c)
   if(isnumeric(c{k}))
       cc{k} = num2str(c{k});
   elseif (isstring(c{k}))
       cc{kk}= char(c{k});
   %and so on
   end
 end

Another idea is,

 cellfun(@(x) char(string(x)),c,'uni',0)

See if this improves things:

cc=A\(B*[c(j-1,2:8)]');

This assumes c(j-1,2:8) is a row vector to start. If it is a column vector, leave off the transpose (') operator:

cc=A\(B*[c(j-1,2:8)]);

MATLAB: Create new column in cell array based on string values in other columns

Use strjoin to merge the strings and a loop to go over the rows:

C = {'aaa', 'b', 'cccc';
     'string1', 'string2', 'string3'}
newcol = size(C, 2) + 1;
for row = 1 : size(C, 1)
   C{newcol, 4} = strjoin(C(row, :), '_');
end

Or using cellfun instead of a loop:

newC = cellfun(@(row) [row, strjoin(row, '_')], num2cell(C, 2), 'UniformOutput', false)
newC = vertcat(newC{:})
