How to conver a string in the form "[1,2,3,4,5]"
into a vector 1 2 3 4 5
I have used strrep command but here I have to remove each of the "[", "]", ",", sepreately and the convert it into a numaerical vector.
Is there any other simple solution (might be in one or two lines) for this conversion

Judging by your earlier question
https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/507849-simplest-way-to-save-a-vector-to-a-variable-with-commas-and-braces
the simplest solution is to avoid this situation entirely by not saving data in such a pointlessly inefficient format.
Saving in a standard binary or text format would mean you could trivially use basic import/export functions, without any of the inefficient code that you have decided to use.

v=str2num(extractBetween("[1,2,3,4,5]",'[',']'));

Much more efficient than the accepted answer:
>> str = '[1,2,3,4,5]';
>> vec = sscanf(str(2:end),'%f,',[1,Inf])
vec =
1 2 3 4 5
This also avoids the evil eval hidden inside str2num.

  • This also avoids the evil eval hidden inside str2num.
I opened sscanf function and only see comments. How do you know?

It's in the documentation...
"... str2num uses the eval function, which can cause unintended side effects when the input includes a function name. To avoid these issues, use str2double."
Unfortunately, to take that advice takes some more effort as
>> str2double(extractBetween("[1,2,3,4,5]",'[',']'))
ans =
12345
>>
To avoid that,
>> str2double(split(extractBetween("[1,2,3,4,5]",'[',']'),',')).'
ans =
1 2 3 4 5
>>
I just took the easy way out.
And, of course, if performance is a real issue, then it is definitely true that sscanf is going to win hands down on big strings, but probably rare cases that it would actually ever show up as a bottleneck.
It's just a simple way w/o having to remember format string syntax, etc., and illustrates some of the newer string functions.
ADDENDUM:
And, since the OP used a string notation in his example, I presumed it would be such in his code; Stephen wrote his test string as a char() string array, not as a string() array element. To do that means more work, too:
> sscanf(s{1}(2:end),'%f,',[1 inf])
ans =
1 2 3 4 5
>>
as sscanf and friends aren't string awares...the string functions and str2xxx are.
