How to get Command Window format for existing 'Cell Arrays'

I have a Cell-array created and i want to get the command window format for that cell-array.

For example: I have created a 5x2 cell array using command line:

MyCell = {'time' , 'timestamp';'posX', {'DePositionX', 'DePositionXmm'};'posY',  {'DePositionY', 'DePositionYmm'};'velocityX', 'DeVelocityX';'velocityY', 'DeVelocityY'};

Similarly I have a MxN cell array already created(not by me) and i want to get the structure of that cell in a command window format as shown in the above code. Can you tell me is there any way or commands to get this.

Thanks.

What do you mean by "command window format"?

Just type

MyCell

is you want to view it in the command window.

I can create a cell by typing below piece in command window.

{'time' , 'timestamp';'posX', {'DePositionX', 'DePositionXmm'};'posY',  {'DePositionY', 'DePositionYmm'};'velocityX', 'DeVelocityX';'velocityY', 'DeVelocityY'};

Now, already i have a cell array and i want it in above format(vice-versa)

You have a cell array and want to create the code, which produced this array. Right? Then try FEX: uneval .

If the elements of the cell are all strings or numbers, this would work also:

S = size(C);
fprintf('C = {');
for iR = 1:S(1)
  for iC = 1:S(2)
    data = C{iR, iC};
    if ischar(data)
      fprintf('''%s''', data);
    elseif isnumeric(data)
      fprintf('''%g''', data);
    else
      error('Class not supported.')
    end

      if iC < S(2)
        fprintf(', ');
      else
        fprintf('...\n');
      end
    end
  end
  fprintf('};')

Thanks for your time. Unfortunately it didn't work for all the cases. But i found a function to solve this in below link.

Please do not cross-post a question in different forums, because this wastes the time of the one who try to help you. If you really have a good reason to cross-post, add a link to the other forum in each question. Thanks.

"It does not wokr in all cases": If you define the needed cases in the question, posting a matching answer is easier.

[Ganesh Hegade]

Sure. I will note it.

Isn't that just a manual way of doing

celldisp(yourCellArray);

Not sure what you want but perhaps the whos() function or celldisp() would be what you want.
