Concatenate/ Merge two HEX Cell Array

Hello,

I have a two cell array which are 3x1 and 2x1. I want to merge them and want to see as 5x1. How can I do it? When I use horzcat, It says dimensions are not consistent. Thank you.

{'01'} {'04'} {'01'}

{'02'} {'05'} ----> {'02'}

{'03'} {'03'}

{'04'}

{'05'}

You need to use vertcat instead, or use the semicolon.

a={'01';'02';'03'}

a = 3×1 cell array
    {'01'}
    {'02'}
    {'03'}

b={'04';'05'}

b = 2×1 cell array
    {'04'}
    {'05'}

c=[a;b]

c = 5×1 cell array
    {'01'}
    {'02'}
    {'03'}
    {'04'}
    {'05'}

vertcat(a,b)

ans = 5×1 cell array
    {'01'}
    {'02'}
    {'03'}
    {'04'}
    {'05'}

Hi,

The reason horzcat doesn't work here is because the number of rows in both arrays are different , so you can't place them side by side , like

1 4

2 5

3

additionally , you won't get 5 x1 cell array you are looking for ,hence concat vertically using vertcat(X,Y) or like [X;Y] . Hope this solves your problem

X={'01';'02';'03'}

X = 3×1 cell array
    {'01'}
    {'02'}
    {'03'}

Y={'04';'05'}

Y = 2×1 cell array
    {'04'}
    {'05'}

Z=[X;Y]

Z = 5×1 cell array
    {'01'}
    {'02'}
    {'03'}
    {'04'}
    {'05'}
