How can I dynamically assign/access elements in a matrix with arbitrary dimensions?
显示 更早的评论
I am creating a code to manipulate a matrix generated from an external file. I would like to make it so that the matrix could have arbitrary dimensions, e.g. in one file it might be just one dimension so listing all the elements could be done like:
A(:)
in another, it might have two dimensions, so listing the elements could be done like:
A(:,:)
if three,
A(:,:,:)
and so on. My problem is that I don’t know how (or maybe it is not possible) to make some general code to manipulate the matrix A. If I had know that A had dimension 3, I could just do something like
A(n,m,o)
But what I would like to do is something like
A(C)
where C is a list equal to [n m o] or [n m o … z].
Any ideas?

Not matching the question exactly, but worth to mention:
A = rand(2,3,4) % Or: rand(2,3,4,5,4,3,2)
Index = cell(1, ndims(A));
Index(:) = {':'}; % BUGFIX: was {:}, thanks Walter and Jim
A(Index{:}) % Equivalent to: A(:, :, :)
Index{2} = 2:3;
A(Index{:});

? What is the line
Index(:) = {:};
intended to do?
@Walter: Set all elements of the cell Index to the string ':'. It seems like I've forgot the quotes. There are some confusing facts about the magic indexing methods, so at least I'm obviously confused: The colon operator can (sometimes?) replaced by a string, as end can also. Does this work: A(':', ':') or A(:, 'end')? And it happened the other way around also, when : was working, also I'd expected that the string ':' is required. Finally I've posted "{:}" here, "{':'}" was meant and I perform further investigations. Most likely they match in my "magic string" thread.
@Jim: Please note, that flagging is a method to inform the admins about inappropriate messages, which conflict with the terms of use of this forum. I do not think that typos are a good reason to raise a flag.

@Jan,
Thanks for the pointer on flags. Any other suggestion on how to mark something as needing to be fixed without having sufficient 'reputation' to fix it?
