Solution

  • If I understand correctly, you have a flat cell array of strings (which contain valid MATLAB cell array definitions), and you want to convert each string into a sub-cell-array of its own. So what you need is:

    cellfun(@eval, C, 'UniformOutput', false)

    Where C is the original cell array of strings.

    Example:

    C = {'{''samsung'', ''n150'', ''jp0xtr'', ''n570''};'; ...
    '{''samsung'', ''n150'', ''jp0xtr'', ''beyaz''};'}
C2 = cellfun(@eval, C, 'UniformOutput', false)

    The result is:

    C = 

    '{'samsung', 'n150', 'jp0xtr', 'n570'};'
    '{'samsung', 'n150', 'jp0xtr', 'beyaz'};'


C2 = 

    {1x4 cell}
    {1x4 cell}
