Matrix help

 I have a matrix of letters, however in the command window the letters all have e.g 'B/H' instead of just B/H. my code at the moment is

function dissertationmatrixletters

C = cell(16);

for i=1:2:3

    C(i,2)={'-B/H'};

end

for i=1:2:3

   C(i+4,2)={'B/H'};

end

disp(transpose(C));

Does anybody know how to do this?

Kind Regards

Dan

If it's just a matter of how it's displayed:

fprintf([repmat('%4s  ',1,16),'\n'],C{:})

(Note, you normally need to transpose before using fprintf, but you were displaying the transpose anyway, so I left it as C, rather than doing C=C'; first)

The apostrophes just indicate that you're using a cell array to store elements.

If you access the content of the cell, you'll get B/H (w/o the apostrophes).

It depends what you need the array for. For printing purposes you could store:

A = [' B/H  -B/H' 
     '-B/H   B/H'];

But then it's a 2 by 10 char array.

I discussed the solutions in your Letters In Matrix posting.

I just read it...Why would anybody care about the apostrophes in the command window?

Look, are you here for the beer or are you here to ask questions?
