CELL2STR

CELL2STR converts a cell array of strings into a character array.

Description

CELL2STR converts a cell array of strings into a character array. The resulting character array is possible by padding the strings in each row with spaces.

Example
str = {'this' 'is' 'a' 'test' 'of' 'cell' '2' 'str'};
cell2str(str)

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.4 (R2007a)

How is this different from the following?...

>> str = {'this' 'is' 'a' 'test' 'of' 'cell' '2' 'str'};
>> char(str)

ans =

this
is
a
test
of
cell
2
str

Nice programming exercise for duplicating the built-in CHAR function. Please remove.

this is exactly what CHAR does - in one simple shot...

Although Jos and us are right, I think this function deserves to stay here, because its name is more intuitive that the built-in 'char', which is not expected to do the conversion. The high number of downloads of this function seems to confirm my opinion. Best regards, MC
