Suppose I have a cell array containing strings:
c = {'foo1', 'foo2', 'foo3'}
I now want to add the same suffix "bar
" to each string, such that the cell array becomes:
c = {'foo1bar', 'foo2bar', 'foo3bar'}
Is there a shortcut to doing this, without explicitly looping through each element?
strcat
operates on cell arrays:
>> c = {'foo1', 'foo2', 'foo3'}
c =
'foo1' 'foo2' 'foo3'
>> c2 = strcat(c,'bar')
c2 =
'foo1bar' 'foo2bar' 'foo3bar'
What about using cellfun
:
c=cellfun(@(x) strcat(x, 'bar'), c, 'Uniformoutput', 0);
I don't know if it's faster to run than a loop, but it's less tedious to write.
Edit: apparently strcat
handles cell arrays. Use cellfun
for functions that don't.
