I have two cell arrays. Q1 and Q2
My cell array's are like this :
q1 = '+ab' <1x1 cell> '+BD'
q2 = <1x1 cell> '+aC'
My output required :
+ab+BD+aC

strcat(q1(end),q2(end))
ADD
q1 = {'+ab' {} '+BD'};
q2 = {{} '+aC'};
q = [q1 q2];
out = cat(2,q{:});
out = cat(2,out{:});
or
out = cell2mat([q1{:},q2{:}]);

%%%your cell
q1 = cell(3,1);
q2 = cell(2,1);
q1{1}='+ab';
q1{2} ={};
q1{3}='+BD';
q2{1}={};
q2{2} ='+aC';
code to join the non-empty cells
n=1;
for k=1:numel(q1)
if ~isempty(q1{k})
q3{n} = q1{k};
n=n+1;
end
end
for k=1:numel(q2)
if ~isempty(q2{k})
q3{n} = q2{k};
n=n+1;
end
end
q3 =
'+ab' '+BD' '+aC'
