I have got a simple question. I want to convert a cell array to a string array, somehow I don't succeed in doing this.
An example:
I' ve got this: a={1650}, which is a cell array. Because I want to concatenate this with other strings I need to convert the cell array to a string array. I have tried many converting functions but I dont get the correct final string array.
Hopefully somebody can help me with this.
Many Thanks.

hi, You can accomplish that by converting the cell to matrix first then coverting the matrix to string array
B=num2str(cell2mat(A));

B = cellfun(@val2str, A, 'uniform', 0);
function str = val2str(val)
str = evalc(disp(val));
end

Or without EVALC, since R2021a:
B = cellfun(@formattedDisplayText, A, 'uni', 0);

C = {'Li','Sanchez','Jones','Yang','Larson'}
B = string(C)
That should do the trick.
