I have a cell of strings 'tsince' having dimension 143 by 1 as '4632' '0.00000000' '-1440.00000000' '-1438.00000000' '-1436.00000000' '-1434.00000000' '-1432.00000000' '-1430.00000000' '-1428.00000000' . . . . '1436.00000000' '1438.00000000' '1440.00000000'
I want to convert it to an array or cell of numbers. I tried with str2num() but it gives the following error:
>> tsince2=str2num(tsince) ??? Error using ==> str2num at 33 Requires string or character array input.
I am new to matlab. somebody can please help out how to do this. Thanks in advance

A surprisingly efficient method even for very large input:
C = {'4632', '0.00000000', '-1440.00000000', '-1438.00000000', ...
'-1436.00000000', '-1434.00000000', '-1432.00000000' '-1430.00000000', ...
'-1428.00000000', '1436.00000000', '1438.00000000', '1440.00000000'};
S = sprintf('%s ', C{:});
D = sscanf(S, '%f');

I had to make my cell array a single column then ensure empties were converted to NaN (otherwise they got lost) but this worked MUCH quicker than str2double for my example, thanks Jan!
C2 = reshape(C,[],1);
C2(cellfun(@isempty,C2)) = {'NaN'};
S = sprintf('%s ', C2{:});
D = sscanf(S, '%f');
Data = reshape(D, [], size(C,2));

STR2NUM requires a single string to work on. You need to loop around the individual cell elements and use STR2NUM. CELLFUN is a better way of doing the same - check out the doc.

you may convert cell to char, then use str2num:
%given A;
C=char(A);
D=str2num(C);
