Dealing with Character arrays

Hello everyone!

I have 3 (Date, Time, Pred) one-column character arrays and i want to create a new array with 3 columns. 1st column ---> Date, 2nd column ---> Time and 3rd Column ---> Pred. but i can't figure how to do that. Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance,

Giorgos

You probably need a cell array, especially if all the strings are not guaranteed to be of the same size.

 col1 = char(reshape(32:127, 32, 3)'); %Some character array
 col2 = col1;
 col3 = col2;
 %What you could use
 your_cell_array = [cellstr(col1),cellstr(col2),cellstr(col3)];

So you have this, to mention it explicitly:

a = ['1'; '2'; '3'];
b = ['A'; 'C'; 'X'];
c = ['Q', '_', 'v'];

And these values represent Date, Time and Pred? Don't you think, that this is a very short representation? My guess is, that you do not have three [nx1] CHAR vectors. Anyhow, the solution would be:

R = [a,b,c]

Or equivalent:

R = cat(2, a, b, c);

If this is helpful, I strongly recommend to read the Getting Started chapters of the documentation, where such fundamental basics are explained.
