Thread Subject: Problems making a combined array with Char and Doubles

Hi
...snip
 fseek(fid, StartofField, 'bof');
    File_code=fread(fid, 1,'uint8');
    File_codes(count,1)=File_code;
    Filler = fread(fid, 7);
    Co_code = fread(fid, 14,'char');
    Co_code = char(Co_code)';
    Co_codes(count,2) = Co_code;

    count=count+1
...snip

File_codes is coming out as a double (for example 123 1)
Co_codes as a char (for example BHP ANZ )

I need to make a final array that looks like
123 BHP
1 ANZ

but I just can't get the two together, I know it will be something simple so can someone please help

Thanks

Because the array elements are not of the same size, it would be good to use a cell array.

I don't know your outputs exactly, therefore I will give a close approximation here:

numberOfCodes = length(File_codes);
cellArray = cell(numberOfCodes,1);

for k = 1:numberOfCodes
    cellArray{k} = [num2str(File_codes(k)) ' ' Co_codes(k)];
end

Something like this should work. [You will clearly need to modify the code according to your variables.]
