How can I create a string vector?
显示 更早的评论
Given a vector containing a certain number of elements, for example vector=[2,4,3], I have to create a vector containing in each row (or column) the name of the corresponding planet in the solar system. In the case of the previous vector, the result should be PlanetName=['Venus';'Mars';'Earth']. Can you suggest me a method to create such a vector? thank you.

There are no "string vectors" in Matlab, but you need a "cell string":
Planets = {'Mercury', 'Venus', 'Earth', 'Mars', 'Jupiter', 'Saturn', 'Uranus', 'Neptune'}
Index = [2, 4, 3];
Chosen = Planets(Index)
See the "Getting Started" chapters of the documentation, because such a powerful tool as Matlab demands for learning the basics from the documentation.
EDITED: And when you really have a good reason not to use a cell string, but a char-matrix:
Chosen = char(Planets(Index))
Now the strings are padded with zeros. But it is less useful to work with char matrices. Prefer cell strings whenever it is possible.

This is not possible in Matlab, because the strings have a different number of characters. The thing, which is near to a "string vector" is a CHAR-matrix, but then you have to pad teh shorter names with zeros. See EDITED.

Actually the padding is with blanks when you use char() on a cell array of strings.

@Walter: I still try to ignore, that Matlab pads CHAR matrices with blanks, because zeros are less intrusive.

You can use cell arrays, for example:
planet={'planet1' 'planet2' 'planet3' 'planet4'}
vector=[2,4,3]
our=planet(vector)
