Convert 8x3 char to string sequence (MATLAB)

Dear,

I have this char characters on MATLAB:

val =

'011'

'010'

'001'

'000'

'000'

'001'

'010'

'011'

I want to convert them to one sequence of type string to obtain this result:

"011010001000000001010011"

Answer 1

[Walter Roberson]

reshape(val.', 1, [])

@Walter Roberson Thanks it works

Answer 2

[David Hill]

val=['011'
    '010'
    '001'
    '000'
    '000'
    '001'
    '010'
    '011']

val = 8×3 char array
    '011'
    '010'
    '001'
    '000'
    '000'
    '001'
    '010'
    '011'

val=val'

val = 3×8 char array
    '00000000'
    '11000011'
    '10100101'

val=val(:)'

val = '011010001000000001010011'

Answer 3

[Steven Lord]

val = ...
    ['011'
    '010'
    '001'
    '000'
    '000'
    '001'
    '010'
    '011'];
s = join(string(val), '')

s = "011010001000000001010011"

[Walter Roberson]

Without using string(), such as for older MATLAB:

val = ...
    ['011'
    '010'
    '001'
    '000'
    '000'
    '001'
    '010'
    '011'];
s = strjoin(cellstr(val), '')

s = '011010001000000001010011'

Interesting, using string() is measurably faster here.

format long g
val = char(randi(+'0', +'1'), 5000, 50);

N = 100;
t_string = zeros(N,1);
t_cell = zeros(N,1);
for K = 1 : N; start = tic; s = join(string(val), ''); stop = toc(start); t_string(K) = stop; end
for K = 1 : N; start = tic; s = strjoin(cellstr(val), ''); stop = toc(start); t_cell(K) = stop; end

[mean(t_string(2:end)), mean(t_cell(2:end))]

ans = 1×2

1.0e+00 * 1.15959595959596e-05 4.07575757575758e-05

plot([t_string(2:end), t_cell(2:end)]);
legend({'string()', 'cellstr()'})
