convert cell into an integer in matlab

To convert a cell into an integer in MATLAB, you can use the cell2mat() and str2num() functions.

First, use cell2mat() to convert the cell array to a character array.

Then, use str2num() to convert the character array to a numeric array. Here's an example:

main.m
% create a cell array of strings
myCell = {'123', '456', '789'};

% convert the cell array to a character array
myChar = cell2mat(myCell);

% convert the character array to a numeric array
myNum = str2num(myChar);
214 chars
9 lines

In this example, myNum will be a numeric array containing [123 456 789].

Note that str2num() expects the input to be a string containing only a number. If there are non-numeric characters in the string, str2num() will return an empty array. In that case, you may need to use other functions (such as str2double()) or write your own conversion code.
