How do get the cell matrix to be double?

Hi all,

How do I change the DecompDict output to become double, similar to dict shown below. And what does it mean by [1x10 double] ?

DecompDict = 

      '-47'    '[0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,1]'
      '-17'    '[0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,0]'
      '-7'     '[0,0,1,0,1,0,1,1,1]'  
      '-3'     '[0,0,1,0,1,0,0]'      
      '-2'     '[0,0,1,1]'            
      '-1'     '[0,1]'                
      '0'      '1'                    
      '1'      '[0,0,0]'              
      '2'      '[0,0,1,0,0]'          
      '3'      '[0,0,1,0,1,1]'        
      '7'      '[0,0,1,0,1,0,1,1,0]'  
      '17'     '[0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,1]'
      '30'     '[0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0]'

dict = 

      [-47]    [1x10 double]
      [-17]    [1x10 double]
      [ -7]    [1x9  double]
      [ -3]    [1x7  double]
      [ -2]    [1x4  double]
      [ -1]    [1x2  double]
      [  0]    [          1]
      [  1]    [1x3  double]
      [  2]    [1x5  double]
      [  3]    [1x6  double]
      [  7]    [1x9  double]
      [ 17]    [1x10 double]
      [ 30]    [1x10 double]

Is this maybe what you are looking for?

DecompDict = cell2mat(dict);

more info see: http://www.mathworks.nl/help/matlab/ref/cell2mat.html

Hi, I have the dict that is output into file. And from file .txt, I got the values out to become DecompDic. But it does not give me back in double form. How can I get DecompDict to be double form ?

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

out=cellfun(@str2num,DecompDict,'un',0)

To display your data

celldisp(out)

1x10 double means an array of ten numbers (double class)
