Removing square brackets from string

hey,

Right now i have a string A=[1101100111100010], is there anyway to remove the square brackets at the start and end of the string?

Thanks

A(2:end-1)

or

regexprep(A, '\[(.*)\]', '$1')

But first check that you really have a string. I suspect you might be looking at a cell array. If class(A) is cell instead of char then what you need instead is

A{1}

A(2:end-1)

An alternative way that also works:

A = '[1101100111100010]' % A is a string, not a numerical vector.
% Remove any and all left brackets.
A(A=='[') = []
% Remove any and all right brackets.
A(A==']') = []
