Hi,
I have a dynamic cell array of cell arrays and I want to combine it into a cell array of data.
For example:
kdata =
Columns 1 through 4
{10x3 cell} {10x3 cell} {10x3 cell} {10x3 cell}
Columns 5 through 8
{10x3 cell} {10x3 cell} {10x3 cell} {10x3 cell}
Columns 9 through 10
{10x3 cell} {10x3 cell}
What I want:
kdata_combined =
Columns 1 through 11
'8' '7' '2' '8' '10' '5' '1' '2' '1' '4' '3'
'2' '1' '4' '2' '3' '0' '3' '3' '0' '0' '0'
'1' '1' '1' '4' '4' '4' '1' '1' '2' '4' '2'
'3' '2' '1' '1' '2' '1' '1' '1' '0' '2' '2'
'2' '5' '0' '0' '1' '2' '0' '2' '0' '1' '0'
'0' '1' '3' '1' '1' '2' '1' '0' '0' '2' '1'
'0' '4' '0' '0' '1' '0' '1' '2' '1' '1' '0'
'2' '0' '0' '0' '0' '0' '0' '0' '1' '0' '0'
'2' '0' '0' '1' '0' '1' '2' '0' '0' '3' '0'
'0' '0' '1' '0' '1' '0' '1' '0' '2' '2' '1'
Columns 12 through 22
'11' '0' '2' '11' '6' '7' '6' '0' '5' '0' '4'
'2' '7' '2' '1' '1' '4' '6' '2' '0' '5' '3'
'2' '1' '1' '1' '1' '4' '3' '1' '2' '3' '0'
'2' '1' '2' '1' '1' '4' '0' '1' '0' '1' '2'
'2' '0' '1' '1' '1' '0' '2' '1' '1' '1' '3'
'0' '0' '0' '3' '0' '4' '0' '0' '0' '0' '1'
'3' '2' '1' '2' '2' '0' '2' '0' '0' '0' '1'
'2' '0' '3' '0' '1' '2' '0' '2' '1' '1' '0'
'1' '0' '1' '1' '0' '0' '2' '0' '2' '0' '0'
'0' '0' '0' '2' '2' '0' '1' '3' '0' '0' '0'
Columns 23 through 30
'1' '1' '3' '1' '2' '4' '5' '8'
'0' '0' '5' '4' '0' '2' '2' '7'
'1' '1' '3' '9' '0' '0' '4' '0'
'3' '1' '1' '0' '3' '0' '0' '1'
'3' '1' '0' '0' '0' '1' '1' '0'
'3' '1' '0' '1' '0' '1' '0' '2'
'1' '0' '0' '1' '1' '0' '1' '0'
'7' '1' '0' '0' '0' '1' '1' '1'
'0' '0' '2' '1' '2' '0' '3' '1'
'4' '0' '1' '0' '2' '0' '2' '0'
I want to do this without any 'for' because my cell arrays are too big. And I can't concat them manually because I never know the size.
Is there anyway I can do this using some function like cell fun ?
Thanks.

How do you know they "are too big" to use a loop?

% Initialize fake data
cellA = cell(10,1);
for i = 1:10
cellA{i} = num2cell(round(rand(10,1)*10));
end
% RUN THIS to extract and realign nested cell arrays
cac = cell2mat(cellfun(@(x) cell2mat(x)' , cellA, 'UniformOutput', false));

You have a cell array of cell arrays of strings. Your strings consist of one and in some cases two characters. The solution, which I proposed, assumed that all strings are of the same length. Since they are not you get the error
Error using cat
Dimensions of matrices being concatenated are not consistent.
Error in cell2mat (line 84)
m{n} = cat(1,c{:,n});
.
I missed the word "number" in the topic title.
Does this do the job?
cac = cat( 2, kdata{:} );
num = str2double( cac );
cac_num = num2cell( num );
or this
kdata_combined = cat( 2, kdata{:} );
both assume that kdata is .< 1 xn cell>
.
[Later]
and when kdata is .< m xn cell>
cc = repmat( kdata, 400, 1 );
tic
nrows = size( cc, 1 );
cac = cell( nrows, 1 );
for jj = 1 : nrows
cac{ jj } = cat( 2, cc{ jj, : } );
end
kdata_combined = cat( 1, cac{:} );
toc
whos('kdata_combined')
returns
Elapsed time is 0.108852 seconds.
Name Size Bytes Class Attributes
kdata_combined 114800x24 314099200 cell
.
I don't think you will find a non-loop solution that is faster
