Concatenating Arrays end to end 1D

15 views (last 30 days)
Hi folks, I am trying to join some 1d arrays together, some with numbers and others with text, but running into some issues.
I have the following:
Blank='-';
FailureCode = 18;
Duplicates = [1;71;91;119;141;155;160;255];
a= cellstr(repmat(Blank, [FailureCode 1]));
e = cat(1, Duplicates, a)
e = 19×1 cell array
{8×1 double} {'-' } {'-' } {'-' } {'-' } {'-' } {'-' } {'-' } {'-' } {'-' } {'-' } {'-' } {'-' } {'-' } {'-' } {'-' }
From this, it can be seen that the first cell is an 8x1 double. However I would like a full 1d array where the last value of duplicates joins to the first value of the repeated dash symbol array 'a'.
Hope someone can help!
Thanks,
Calum.

One option is to convert ‘Duplicates’ to a cell array (using num2cell) to make it compatible with the other values —
Blank='-';
FailureCode = 18;
Duplicates = [1;71;91;119;141;155;160;255];
a= cellstr(repmat(Blank, [FailureCode 1]));
e = cat(1, num2cell(Duplicates), a)
e = 26×1 cell array
{[ 1]} {[ 71]} {[ 91]} {[119]} {[141]} {[155]} {[160]} {[255]} {'-' } {'-' } {'-' } {'-' } {'-' } {'-' } {'-' } {'-' }
.

Hi Star Strider, thanks a lot. Was silly of me to overlook compatibility. This works perfectly!

As always, my pleasure!
No worries! I needed to experiment with a couple different approaches to get it to work.
