Padding cells to make a single matrix

[member 428835]

Hi PF!

I'd like to make one matrix from a cell. I've checked several suggestions, the most promising here but this did not work, giving me the unhelpful error

Brace indexing is not supported for variables of this type.
Error in cell2mat (line 42)
cellclass = class(c{1});
Error in Feven (line 212)
C=cell2mat(cellfun(@(x) [cell2mat(x) zeros(1,maxEl-numel(x))],c,'uni',0));

The cell data is here. Any help is so appreciated!

Hi there!

It looks like you are trying to convert a cell array into a matrix in MATLAB. The error you are receiving is because the cell array you are trying to convert contains variables of different types, which is not supported by the cell2mat function.

To resolve this issue, you will need to make sure all the variables in your cell array are of the same type before using the cell2mat function. You can do this by using the cellfun function to apply a conversion function to each element of the cell array.

For example, if your cell array contains both strings and numbers, you can use the str2num function to convert all the strings to numbers before using cell2mat. Alternatively, you can also use the cellfun function to create a new cell array with all the elements converted to the same type, and then use cell2mat on the new cell array.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions. Good luck with your research!
