Turning a lot of variables into a string

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
I have a list of some 500+ variable names in Excel. What I want to do is to turn them all into strings so I can use them in Matlab. Is there a way I can import the names in as a string without having to add ' ' around each entry?

Are you importing them using xlsread()? If so, the '' should not be necessary.
If you are just copy-pasting the names into Matlab, why not add a formula (in Excel) concatenating the '' to the variable name, using the CONCATENATE() function in Excel?

If you don't want to import automatically then you can just create an empty cell array and paste the excel data straight in.
data = cell(0); % Create empty cell array

[numbers, variableNameStrings, raw] = xlsread(fullFileName);
variableNameStrings should be a cell array with all your strings in it. See the FAQ for an explanation of cell arrays: http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#What_is_a_cell_array.3F
