I am attempting to read from a matlab cell array of strings using the java library jmatio
This is my code
MatFileReader matreader=new MatFileReader ("filepath");
MLarray array= matreader.getMLArray ("cellData").contentToString ());
If I print out array I get an out put that shows me an array with the correct dimensions but in place of the cell elements it tells me the size of the character array in the cell. For example if the first cell contained a string of 5 characters it would show the following
[1×5 char array]
The information is correct but I would like to access the actual information of the cell.
When I used MLCell as in the following I only get the dimensions of the array itself .
Int [] dims = matreader.getMLArray.getDimensions ();
MLCell cellarr=new MLCell("celldata", dims);
Does anyone know the correct usage.
Thank you in advance.
You have to use the get-Function to get an element from the MLCell.

How do I find unique cells in excel using matlab? i was trying to get all unique strings in some excel field,
so baisicly im trying to do somthing like this:
[~,~,mainraw] = xlsread(mainfilename,1);
unique_expense_types = unique(mainraw(:,2));
it should have goten all the cells into cell array type and then return full strings that are unique, though i receive this output:
ans =
' "'()-./01245689BEGILMORWY'
please help fixing it
I am trying to grab data from an excel spread sheet and grab only the information from cells that match a string. Eg. if cell A10 contains the word 'Canada' it should return that cell.
I have tried using strcmp(https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/strcmp.html) to check if string in argument 1 is contained in a cell array containing many strings, the second argument
[num,txt,raw] = xlsread('\\Client\C$\Users\Fish\Desktop\dataset\dataset.csv');
mytable = cell(raw);
for i = 1:54841
array_index = i;
string_index = mytable(i,2);
string_eastern = {'Canada', 'Ontario'};
if strcmp(string_index,string_eastern);
fprintf('%d\n',array_index)
end
end
In the above example if my string_eastern only contains one element, say 'Canada', it will return the index value of every instance of 'Canada'. If I add more elements I expect it would return index values for every instance where string_index would match with a string contained in string_eastern. However I get no results at all if I add more elements.
Pretty much I wanted to check my string_index agaisnt string_eastern, if the values match then I want it to return that cell value. This works when string_eastern is only 1 element but does not work with more than 1.
To access cell contents, use the curly brackets {}. So if I wanted to access the first element of my cell, I would say this:
string = cell{1};

I have a 150X1 cell array. Within the array there are multiple data types. The first cell contains 0.9VA = 1.012207; the second: 0.9VA_CLK = 0.020752; and so on like this (for the most part). I would like to split the cell into two cells using the = as the delimiter. Thus, {1,1}: 0.9VA and {1,2}: 1.012207; {2,1}: 0.9VA_CLK and {2,2}: 0.020752; so on and so forth. I have tried converting them to strings and then using strsplit; however, I run into problems because the string arrays are variable in size.
If there is any other information that I can provide please let me know. Thank you for your help and time in advance.
You can indeed apply strsplit to each of the strings (char arrays) in the cell array. To do so, you can use cellfun:
c{1} = '0.9VA = 1.012207';
c{2} = '0.9VA_CLK = 0.020752';
c{3} = 'CSIPhgenSWoffList = [0, 0, 0, 0]';
c{4} = 'SomethingElse = [0.020752, 0.24564]';
c = cellfun(#(x)strsplit(x,'='),c,'UniformOutput',false);
c = cat(1,c{:});
I use a small example cell array c here, containing four strings, I hope this is representative. I apply strplit to each cell in c using cellfun(x,'='), which splits at the equal sign and returns a cell array with cell arrays. That is, each string in c is turned into a cell array with 2 strings (e.g. '0.9VA ' and ' 1.012207'. This does leave some spaces at the beginning and end of the strings.
The next line, cat, converts this cell array of cell arrays into a two-dimensional cell array. The final output is a cell array c containing the same number of rows as the original cell array, and with 2 columns. The first column corresponds to the part before the equal sign, the second column to the part after the equal sign.
To remove the spaces, you can use cellfun again, with strtrim:
c = cellfun(#strtrim,c,'UniformOutput',false);
my problem is to retrieve a set of 100 images and save them to a cell array using for loop so that my cell array looks just like as would look for command below-
imageNames = {'1.jpg', '2.jpg', '3.jpg', '4.jpg', .. . . . . ,'100.jpg'}
Cell array contains name of each image.
If you were looking to create a cell array of strings 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, etc., use this -
cellfun(#strtrim,cellstr(strcat(num2str([1:100]'),'.jpg'))','uni',0)
Output -
'1.jpg' '2.jpg' '3.jpg' '4.jpg' '5.jpg' '6.jpg' '7.jpg' ....
Edit 1: If you were looking to get the JPG filenames into a cell array, you may use ls to list out all JPG filenames and then store into a cell array like this -
regexp(ls('*.jpg'),'\s ','Split')
The question is a bit unclear. What does retrieve exactly mean?
I assume you have 100 files in a folder and want to create a cell array with the file names.
The dir command should come in handy, then followed by an arrayfun to convert the array of structs including the names to a cell array of names only.
files = dir('*.jpg');
names_in_cell_array = arrayfun(#(x) x.name, files, 'UniformOutput', false);
Hi I want to search a cell array for any elements containing the letter 'x'. I can delete a cell element by doing the following:
mycell(3) = []
but trying to search through the elements id the difficult part. I am using:
offending_cell = strcmp('x', mycell);
however this is just picking out all elements regardless of x appearing in them. Anyone have any suggestions?
There you go:
ind = (~cellfun('isempty',(regexp(mycell,'x'))));
This gives logical indices for cells that contain 'x'. If you want to delete those cells:
mycell(ind) = [];
The problem with you apporach was that strcmp looks for exact matching, not if the string contains a given character.
