Equivalent of [C{:}] for vertcat

To concatenate horizontally the content of a cell array we can use the very practice syntax [C{:}]. For example:

A = {(1:3) (4:7)};
B = [A{:}]
B =
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Is there a way to obtain the same results in the vertical direction (except vertcat of course)

A = {(1:3)' (4:7)'};
B = ?
B =
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7

Answer 1

[Matt J]

Well, it's not vertcat...

B=cat(1,A{:})

But no, I don't think there's a way purely with operator syntax.

[Walter Roberson]

Correct, there is no operator syntax for this.

EDIT

 cell2mat(A')

[Luca Amerio]

This won't work if, as I did on purpose in the example, the vectors inside C are not all the same length.

Moreover, even if the are, the result is not the wanted one.

[José-Luis]

 cell2mat(A')

Answer 3

vertcat(A{:})

[Luca Amerio]

"except vertcat of course"

Thank you, but as [C{:}] is an equivalent for horzcat(C{:}), I was asking myself if there was such an equivalent for vertcat too..

Answer 4

[Greg]

Do exactly the same thing, then transpose B...

A = {(1:3) (4:7)}; B = [A{:}]'

[Matt J]

This only works when the elements of A are row vectors, not column vectors, as in the OP's example.
