How to convert "cell array" to "character array"

How to convert {'A1'} {'B1'} {'C1'} to 'A1' 'B1' 'C1'

Answer 1

[Jonas]

the format 'A1' 'B1' 'C1' is not possible with character array, but 'A1B1C1' is possible:

asCell={'A','B','C'}; charArray=[asCell{:}]

Answer 2

[Stephen23]

C = {'A1','B1','C1'}

C = 1×3 cell array
    {'A1'}    {'B1'}    {'C1'}

D = vertcat(C{:})

D = 3×2 char array
    'A1'
    'B1'
    'C1'

or

D = char(C)

D = 3×2 char array
    'A1'
    'B1'
    'C1'

Answer 3

It's kind of hard to tell what exactly you want, since your example isn't really proper syntax.

If you just have a scalar cell array with a char vector:

A = {'potato'};
B = A{:}

B = 'potato'

If you have a cell array with multiple elements, each containing a char, the answer depends on whether all the char vectors are the same size and what you expect the output to look like.

A = {'potato' 'tomato' 'grapes'};
vertcat(A{:}) % only works if they're all the same size

ans = 3×6 char array
    'potato'
    'tomato'
    'grapes'

horzcat(A{:})

ans = 'potatotomatograpes'
