Hei,

I would like to insert a variable in GUIDE which needs to be written in cell array for post-calculation! After running GUIDE this variable needs to be in following form,e.g.

A={[1] [2] [2 3]}

so that the different elements from the cell array can be acquired.

Is it possible to do it any other way than implementing a table?

Thank you kindly!

If it's just

> A={[1] [2] [2 3]}

you want then you could get the user to input [1] [2] [2 3] into an editbox and then extract the string and make it a cell in your gui code.

I tried it and would be great if it works...but it does not:

>>A='{[1] [2] [2 3]}'
A =
{[1] [2] [2 3]}
>> str2num(A)
ans =
[]
>> A='[1] [2] [2 3]' % without { }
A =
[1] [2] [2 3]
>>str2num(A)
ans =
1 2 2 3
....but what I need is: A={[1] [2] [2 3]}.

Hope there is a solution.
Thank you!

editbox gives you a string, so you need to convert string to cell:

doc cellstr

so if your string from your editbox is

A = '[1] [2] [2 3]'

then you want

A = cellstr(A)

That's what I thought. But it depends on what version you're using.
In R2008b I was getting strings, but now I'm using R2009b(pre-release)
and it's returning a cell array and so I need code like this:
selectedRegionName = get(handles.edtRegion3, 'string');
% It seems that in version R2009b, they changed from returning a
string (as in R2008b) to a cell array.
if iscell(selectedRegionName)
selectedRegionName = selectedRegionName{1};
end

I'm not sure how it will end up in the release version of R2009b, nor
do I know if it had already changed to cell arrays in R2009a since I
have not used that version.
It certainly would be easier if the edit fields just returned a simple
string like you'd expect!
