Matlab replacing 0 with empty cell in Cell array

Question

I have a 10,000 x 65 Cell with 0's and 1's so for example if I type

C(1,1) I get [0] returned or likewise C(3,4) a [1] is returned

I need a way to turn every 0 into a blank cell and every 1 into a char t

I've tried the following with little success

[rows, cols] = size(M); for i = 1:rows for j = 1:cols if strcmp(M(i,j), 1) M(i,j) = 't'; end end end

It returns the same thing, I'm guessing its not recognising the 1's as strings. Any idea sort of simply doing the conversion straight in Excel. thanks

If you think the problem is that it's not recognizing them as string then did you try if M(i,j)==1? — Dan

You are not accessing the cell data-structure correctly.

First of all, if M really is a cell array, you will have to use M{i,j} to access the data. What M(i,j)does is just create a sub-cell-array, which contains M{i,j} as entry.

Also strcmp isn't used correctly, if your cell array contains strings you should use strcmp(M{i,j}, '1'). If your cell array on the other hand contains integers, you would have to use: M{i,j}==1.
