handling arrays of strings
1 view (last 30 days)

I want to create an array of strings in a manner that allows the strings to be easily changed, I would like something like this:
Signals = cellstr('Signals');
horzcat(Signals,...
'SignalName1',...
'SignalName2',...
'SignalName3',...
'SignalName4',...
'SignalName5', );
The problem is that horzcat merges the strings, is there a simple way to achieve this? James

I often use this way to write cell arrays of strings in code. The string 'SignalName3' is commented out. It is easy to read and edit. Often I want a row to use in a for-loop:   for signal = Signals
Signals = {
'Signals'
'SignalName1'
'SignalName2'
... 'SignalName3'
'SignalName4'
'SignalName5'
};
Signals = transpose({
'Signals'
'SignalName1'
'SignalName2'
... 'SignalName3'
'SignalName4'
'SignalName5'
});

Signals= cellstr('Signals');
Signals = [Signals, 'SignalName1'];
Signals = [Signals, 'SignalName2'];
This way it won't merge the strings all together, you will get all the strings in an array.
