convertToCell

Convert block path to cell array of character vectors

Syntax

cellarray = convertToCell(bp)

Description

cellarray = convertToCell(bp) converts a block path to a cell array of character vectors.

Examples

Create Cell Array that Represents Block Path

Open the example model, which references multiple models.

sldemo_mdlref_depgraph

Create a Simulink.BlockPath object.

bp = Simulink.BlockPath({'sldemo_mdlref_depgraph/thermostat', ...
'sldemo_mdlref_heater/Fahrenheit to Celsius', ...
'sldemo_mdlref_F2C/Gain1'});

Create a cell array that represents the elements of the block path.

cellarray = convertToCell(bp)

cellarray =

  3×1 cell array

    {'sldemo_mdlref_depgraph/thermostat'         }
    {'sldemo_mdlref_heater/Fahrenheit to Celsius'}
    {'sldemo_mdlref_F2C/Gain1'                   }

Input Arguments

bp — Fully specified block path

Simulink.BlockPath object

Fully specified block path, specified as a Simulink.BlockPath object. This block path uniquely identifies a block within a model hierarchy, even when the model hierarchy references the same model multiple times.

Output Arguments

cellarray — Block path elements

cell array of character vectors

Block path elements, returned as a cell array of character vectors.
