Convert text of multiple digits to numbers

1 view (last 30 days)
if i have a variable x containing in each row something like this :
  • 123123123
  • 123798731
  • 234874343
if i use class(x) it prints char . and if i write cellstr(x) i get :
  • ' 123123123 '
  • ' 123798731 '
  • ' 234874343 '
how can i convert x to column of numbers so :
1- each row is a number meaning x(1) = 123123123 and not 1.
2- i would be able to use meshgrid(x,x) and i would get the output :
123123123 123798731 234874343
123123123 123798731 234874343
123123123 123798731 234874343
thanks

well... the problem was that my numbers were long like 24-25 digits and matlab couldnt print it that long (although i used format long), but in general your method works , thank you.
