Cell to array of strings

Hi, say we have a 1 by 10 cell array of strings like the following:

 {'C'}    {'B'}    {'A'}    {'C2'}    {'6'}    {'Bob'}    {'O'}    {'A'}    {'Camel'}    {'Banana'}

How can one covert this to an array that is a 1 by 10 array? So in that array there would be 10 elements. I tried cell2mat command, but it just puts everything in a single element, but I want each of the cell to be a seperate element, not a single element. Thanks!

Hi Liam Ryan,

what you describe is not a cell array of strings but char. You can convert it straightforward by applying string().

TESTIN = {{'C'},{'B'},{'A'},{'C2'},{'6'},{'Bob'},{'O'},{'A'},{'Camel'},{'Banana'}};
TESTOUT = string(TESTIN);

Kind regards,

Robert
