cellmatrix2str & str2cellmatrix

Parses sentances into cells of individual words, and the reverse

Description

cellmatrix2str({'test ' 'me'})
Yields 'test me' as a character string.
It combines all the cells into 1 string

str2cellmatrix('This is a test')
yields a 1x4 cell matrix with each word in a seperate cell. This parses a string into individual cell blocks.

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1)

Trivial.

Very useful! Thanks

cellmatrix2str({'test ' 'me'}) gives me 'testme' but not 'test me' as mentioned by author. Author uses "strcat" function and trailing spaces in strings are ignored.

Use the concatenation syntax array to preserve trailing spaces.

array= [array number{character}];

PS: Please use variable name that is consistent with its purpose. For example variable name 'number' is confusing here. You could use name 'cellString' so that the user knows that the input is array of cell strings.

The jobs can be performed much faster and more reliable with Matlab functions: sprintf('%s', CellStr{:}) and strread(Str, '%s', 'delimiter', ' ');
The source is not clean: Unneeded semicolons, square brackets, no error handling, really lean documentation.
At least: It works! => 2 stars although I'd recommend not to use this.
