From: Judas Magnus on 2 Apr 2010 16:39 say that I have a string like this: Foods= char('Meat','Chicken','Pork','Duck','Roast') frCell = cellstr(Foods) I want to create a 5 x 5 cell array called cArray containing at 5 random positions the cells of Foods. I know I can create a 5x5 array by cell(5,5) but how can i randomize positions of the frCell into the cArray
From: Matt Fig on 2 Apr 2010 17:00 Look at using the output from randperm as an index into the array.

How can i limit the size to take only 5 cell containers. Right now its completely filling my array with those meats "us " <us(a)neurol.unizh.ch> wrote in message <hp5nj1$fqt$1(a)fred.mathworks.com>... > "Judas Magnus" <ragnaork5435(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message <hp5kl8$218$1(a)fred.mathworks.com>... > > say that I have a string like this: > > Foods= char('Meat','Chicken','Pork','Duck','Roast') > > frCell = cellstr(Foods) > > > > I want to create a 5 x 5 cell array called cArray containing at 5 random positions the cells of Foods. > > > > I know I can create a 5x5 array by cell(5,5) but how can i randomize positions of the frCell into the cArray > > something was missing in the last reply(!)... > sorry for confution... > > one of the solutions > - if more than one instance is allowed... > > f=cellstr(char('m','c','p','d','r')); > cf=cell(5,5); % <- pre-allocate(!)... > rf=ceil(numel(f)*rand(size(cf))); > cf=f(rf) > %{ > % CF = % <- based on current RAND state(!)... > 'p' 'm' 'm' 'm' 'r' > 'd' 'd' 'r' 'd' 'd' > 'd' 'm' 'c' 'r' 'd' > 'r' 'c' 'c' 'm' 'p' > 'd' 'c' 'c' 'r' 'm' > %} > > us |
