NaN is double
>> class( nan )
ans =
double
replace Nan by '' (empty string)
>> alldata = {'abc', nan, 'def'}
alldata =
'abc' [NaN] 'def'
>> alldata{ not( cellfun( @ischar, alldata ) ) } = '';
>> alldata
alldata =
'abc' '' 'def'

>> alldata{ not( cellfun( @ischar, alldata ) ) } = '';
does that. Why use a loop?
any_string_value = 'abc';
for jj = 1 : length( alldata )
if not( ischar( alldata{jj} ) )
alldata{jj} = any_string_value;
end
end
