ORing of two Cell arrays.

Hi,

I know this may be a basic question. I have two Cell arrays. For example, 'A1' as <1000x1 cell> 'A2' as <1000x1 cell> Now, I'd like to OR both of them in to a single Cell.

like C = A1 | A2;

if A1 = 23, A2 = 56, then I want C = 2356;

Can anyone tell how do I do that?

Thanks

That's not what the logical OR operator does. You mean concatenate. Is the data in each array numeric, or is it strings?

That does not look like "or" to me. That looks like concatenation of decimal numbers.

What if the numbers stored have fractions? What if some of them are negative?

What if some of the cells have strings? Or NaN? Or contain structures? Or contain further cell arrays?

What if the cell arrays are not the same length?

All the numbers are not fractions and negative. But, they have strings (i.e. hex values).

Its like

A1 = [23 A1 45 FE 01]

A2 = [23 A1 45 09 FE]

[NDKA]

in-fact all the numbers in the Cell array's are Hex values and they are of 1 byte size.

So you mean it's binary data and you want to interleave it?

Yes Walter, as you said, its Concatenation. I used the following command, and its working pretty fine for me. Thanks to you.

C = strcat(A1, A2);
