cellfun isclass

Hi all,

I have a cell array like the following

GeneList =
'GeneName' 'EntrezID'
'ACVR1' 90
'ACVR1B' 91

The class of CellList(2:3,2) is double. I would like to convert the class of these elements to char, so I tried

tf = cellfun('isclass',GeneList(:,2),'double')

tf = 0
      1
      1

But I am stuck at how to use the num2str function to the selected cell elements by tf parameter. Does anyone have any suggestion?

Thank you very much,
Wendy

Try something like

cstr = cellfun( @( num ) num2str( num ), CellList, 'uni', false )

 GeneList(tf,2)= cellstr(num2str(cat(1,GeneList{tf,2})))
