Cell containing double arrays to cell

Hi,

Having (for instance) a 1x3 cell which contains in each entry a double array of a different size. For instance:

cell(1) = 1x2 double cell(2) = 1x10 double cell(3) = 1x6 double

I want to convert any such cell (hence with somewhat generic code), to a cell with one row containing all the elements of the double arrays one after another (in this example it would be a 1x18 cell). How can I do that?

Answer 1

cell2mat(TheCell)

But I want a (in this example 1x18) cell at the end, is there no faster way than cell2mat and then back to cell?

Well, technically you could use

temp = horzcat(TheCell);
L = length(temp);
result = cell(1,temp);
for K = 1 : L; result{K} = temp(L); end

That might be slightly faster than

num2cell(cell2mat(TheCell))

Your question is a bit ambiguous as to whether you want a single cell entry with a 1 x 18 double vector in it, or if you want a 1 x 18 cell vector each with one double.

The later, and your code works fine!:) Thank you
