Answer 1

Gil - is each element of your cell array a numeric scalar or numeric array? See cell2mat which provides some examples on how you might do this conversion.

Answer 2

[Damdae]

Try str2double:

cell2mat({'01'}) = '01' (double)
str2double({'01'}) = 1  (char)

Thanks Damdae, very useful tip to convert

cell array, containg numbers, to double.

Best.

The absolute easiest way I know is comma seperated list assignment, which looks like this;

a = [{25}; {31}; {24}; {5}; {23}; {64}; {12}; {53}; {22}];
b = [a{:}]'

b = 9×1

25 31 24 5 23 64 12 53 22

I don't know whrether it is any good, but it works if the values of all cells are of the same type. just keep in mind that it will transpose a columnvector to a rowvector.
