Convert character matrix to numeric matrix

9 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hello
I have this matrix:
A=['AB' 'AC';'AD' 'AE'];
I want to make each element of this words to have unique value of number. After that I want a code to transfer the numbers to the origin words.
I used this code:
A=['AB' 'AC';'AD' 'AE'];
A = double(A)
A = char(A)
The problem is that the output has the size 2*4 while it should be as the input 2*2 this due to that matlab deals with the letters not the words so it make each letter in separate column.
Please help me.
Thanks

all element in my matrix have the same length so you can exclude that possibility

Your final A is a character array yet you say you want a numerical array. Please state EXACTLY what you'd like to see as the output for the example you've given, so we know whether it needs to be numbers (like 1, 2, etc.), ASCII values (like 65, 66, etc.), or characters (like 'A', 'B', etc.).

If you really need a 2x2 array then one straightforward way would be to use a cell array:
>> A = {'AB','AC';'AD','AE'}
A =
'AB' 'AC'
'AD' 'AE'
>> B = cellfun(@double,A,'uni',0)
B =
[65,66] [65,67]
[65,68] [65,69]
>> C = cellfun(@char,B,'uni',0)
C =
'AB' 'AC'
'AD' 'AE'

If I understand your goal correctly, use the unique function.
sampleWords = {'apple', 'banana', 'cherry'};
n = numel(sampleWords);
data = sampleWords(randi(n, 1, 10))
[uniqueWords, generateUniqueWordsFromData, generateDataFromUniqueWords] = unique(data);
data2 = uniqueWords(generateDataFromUniqueWords)
isequal(data, data2)
