Char() seems to work, applying it and changing the duration array before I put the 4rth line in the file.
How can i have together in the same cell, lines with number values and one line with duration in HH:mm:ss:SSS?

Hello,
I don't know if i have expressed my question in a good and understandable way.
I will try to describe it now.
I have a cell file for example: 4x5 cell
The first 3 lines are just numbers, while the 4th line is duration in HH:mm:ss:SSS but in a cell form.
My output is a cell file 4x5 like this:
5 5 5 5 5
3 3 3 3 3
4 4 4 4 4
1x1duration 1x1duration 1x1duration 1x1duration 1x1duration
But i want to have the duration like this:
5 5 5 5 5
3 3 3 3 3
4 4 4 4 4
HH:mm:ss HH:mm:ss HH:mm:ss HH:mm:ss HH:mm:ss
I must make a change in the format probably but i don't know how...
Any ideas?

Unfortunately, when you look at a cell array in the current version of matlab, matlab only shows the size and type of durations arrays even for scalar ones instead of showing the value of the array. There's nothing you can do about that.
You could indeed convert the duration arrays to char as you suggested however I wouldn't recommend it as you will no longer have easy access to easy calculations on durations (you can't add two char arrays for example).
Instead I would recommend you tranpose your cell array and convert it to a table. Tables are easier to work with than cell arrays and have better display. In particular, tables show the content of scalar duration (and datetime), not the type.
cell2table(yourcellarray')

Try using readtable() to read your file.

You cannot change how the variable browser outputs non numeric values. There is only limited support for changing how the variable browser displays numeric values.
