convert cell to a list

Let's say I have 2 cells X = {'1 2 3 4 5 6'} and Y = {'7 8 9 10 11 12'}. I want to plot(X,Y), is there a way to do it directly ? Else, how can I convert X and Y to lists ?

Thanks in advance,

You can use str2num to convert the char array to numeric values

X = {'1 2 3 4 5 6'};
Y = {'7 8 9 10 11 12'};

plot(str2num(X{1}), str2num(Y{1}))

I am glad to be of help!

That's kind. What's the difference between str2num and str2double ? (cuz matlab suggested to use str2double instead od str2num)

[Ameer Hamza]

str2double() only work if you only have a single number, such as, X = {'1'}. In your case, str2num() will be used. You can suppress the warning by typing the comment after the line.

plot(str2num(X{1}), str2num(Y{1})) %#ok<ST2NM>
