Replace empty cells with logical 0's before cell2mat in MATLAB
- by Doresoom
I've got a cell array of empty cells and ones that I want to convert to a logical array, where the empty cells are zeros. When I use cell2mat, the empty cells are ignored, and I end up with a matrix of solely 1's, with no reference to the previous index they held. Is there a way to perform this operation without using loops?
Example code:
for n=1:5 %generate sample cell array
mycellarray{n}=1;
end
mycellarray{2}=[] %remove one value for testing
Things I've tried:
mylogicalarray=logical(cell2mat(mycellarray));
which results in [1,1,1,1], not [1,0,1,1,1].
for n=1:length(mycellarray)
if isempty(mycellarray{n})
mycellarray{n}=0;
end
end
mylogicalarray=logical(cell2mat(mycellarray));
which works, but uses loops.
