MATLAB: Neat stacking of array and cell array

Question

Hi all

i have this 3×2 cell array:

6x1 cell	1x1 cell %a

1x1 cell	1x1 cell %b

[]	        1x1 cell %c

i want to stack up the cell array in this way:

6x1 cell
1x1 cell %a
1x1 cell
1x1 cell %b
[]	  
1x1 cell %c

then i want to remove the empty cell and expand the 5×1 cell in a matrix.

i have tried with vertcat but it doesn't keep the order…

Thank you for the help

Regard!!

Answer 1

Where C is your cell array:

D = C.';
D(cellfun(@isempty,D)) = []; % not actually required: try without it!
M = vertcat(D{:})
