convert cell of 'True' and 'False' values to a numeric array of 1s and 0s

i have a 6432 x 1 cell containing values of either 'True' or 'False'.

I'm trying to convert the cell to a numeric array with a value of 0 for False and 1 for True.

I must be missing an obvious solution, but I feel like I've tried everything.

I've attached the cell array here.

Thank you.

You can try

tad = strcmp(tad,'True')

better answer from stack overflow:

f = zeros(size(tad));
f(strcmp(tad,'True')) = 1;

Answer 3

Ok i found a way that works but seems inefficient?

If anyone knows a better solution it'd be much appreciated.

t = find(strcmp(tad, 'True'));
tad(t,:) = {1};
f = find(strcmp(tad, 'False'));
tad(f,:) = {0};

s = {'true', 'false'};
C = s(randi(numel(s), 5, 5))

C = 5×5 cell array
    {'true' }    {'false'}    {'false'}    {'true' }    {'true' }
    {'false'}    {'false'}    {'true' }    {'false'}    {'false'}
    {'true' }    {'false'}    {'false'}    {'false'}    {'true' }
    {'true' }    {'false'}    {'false'}    {'true' }    {'true' }
    {'true' }    {'false'}    {'true' }    {'true' }    {'true' }

L = matches(C, 'true')

L = 5×5 logical array
   1   0   0   1   1
   0   0   1   0   0
   1   0   0   0   1
   1   0   0   1   1
   1   0   1   1   1

This same works if you wanted to use a string array.

ST = string(C)

ST = 5×5 string array
    "true"     "false"    "false"    "true"     "true" 
    "false"    "false"    "true"     "false"    "false"
    "true"     "false"    "false"    "false"    "true" 
    "true"     "false"    "false"    "true"     "true" 
    "true"     "false"    "true"     "true"     "true" 

LST = matches(ST, 'true')

LST = 5×5 logical array
   1   0   0   1   1
   0   0   1   0   0
   1   0   0   0   1
   1   0   0   1   1
   1   0   1   1   1
