cell2txtfile

Below is a demonstration of the features of the cell2txtfile function

Contents

Syntax

cell2txtfile(fileName,T,skipOpt);

Description

The cell2txtfile function exports the content in the cell array T to the text file fileName. Each entry in the cell array will be a line in the txt file. Prior to text file creation the cell is converted to a column format. If the input skipOpt=1 cell entries which appear empty (after spaces are removed) will be skipped.

clear; close all; clc;

Examples

Exporting a cell containing text data to a txt file

Create example cell containing text entries, empty entries, an entry containing just spaces and a non-char entry number. The number entry will be converted to a string.

T={'Hello','','World','  ',uint8(125),pi};
filePath=mfilename('fullpath');
fileName=fullfile(fileparts(fileparts(filePath)),'data','temp','temp.txt');
skipOpt=0; %Empty entries will be kept
cell2txtfile(fileName,T,skipOpt);

Warning: Non character entries detected 

%Output text reread as cell:
[T_out]=txtfile2cell(fileName);
disp(T_out)

    'Hello'
    ''
    'World'
    '  '
    '125'
    '3.1415927e+00'

Changing skipOpt to 1 will skip these empty lines

skipOpt=1; %Empty entries will be skipped
cell2txtfile(fileName,T,skipOpt);

[T_out]=txtfile2cell(fileName);
disp(T_out)

Warning: Non character entries detected 
    'Hello'
    'World'
    '125'
    '3.1415927e+00'

Remove example file

delete(fileName);
