How can I concatenate cell arrays of a cell array into one single column?

79 visualizaciones (últimos 30 días)
I have a cell array of data that contains cell arrays of varying length. The number of cells within the cell array will be changing depending on the file I am reading. The data within the cells are characters of varying length. I need to combine all cell arrays within the cell array into one column. I feel like this should be very simple but I have been unable to successfully do it. The code follows:
for i = 1:length(name_cells)
all = name_cells{i,:}(:);
end
This code outputs only the last cell array of course. So when I try this, I get an error message:
for i = 1:length(name_cells)
all(i) = name_cells{i,:}(:);
end
error: Subscripted assignment dimension mismatch.
I realize the indexes don't match being the arrays are of different length, but I don't know of any other way to do this as I am fairly new to Matlab. The data within name_cells looks like this:
'bck2del::kan_whi5del::CaURA3'
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Describing the input data as text is not really useful. Better post some code which creates an equivalent piece of the data.

I guess, how you data look like:
name_cells = {{'a'; 'b'; 'c'}, {'d'}, {'e'; 'f'}};
Then:
nameCol = cat(1, name_cells{:})
creates:
{ 'a'; 'b'; 'c'; 'd'; 'e'; 'f'}
Is this wanted? If not, please post some input and output data.

Yes that is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much. I can't believe I couldn't figure that out myself.
