I have a cell array A who's dimensions is in multiples of 8. For ex 1x192 , now i want to pick the elements of the cell array in the following way.
1,9,17,25...nth elements should be stored it in a separate cell array. similarly 2,10,18,26...n in a separate cell array and another set would be 3,11,19,27 in a separate cell array. this must be continued till 8,16,24,32..n
How can i automate this, where the cell array size is dynamic. But it is always a multiple of 8.
Any help would be appreciated thanks
The simplest thing would be reshape: since the cell array's length is always divisible by 8, you can reshape it to be 8 rows tall. Each row then is one of your separate cell arrays:
>> c = num2cell(1:192);
>> c8 = reshape(c(:), 8, [])
c8 =
8x24 cell array
