I tried to make a function that generates a number of strings.
function [p] = GetPattern (v)
load('code128B.mat')
for a=1:length(code128B)
if v == code128B(a,1)
p=code128B{a,3};
end
end
code128B.mat contains data, first column are numbers while third column are strings. I want to input numbers and produce a string. why this function produce an error: Undefined function 'eq' for input arguments of type 'cell'.? I don't get it.
Thanks for any help.

For cell arrays, curly braces ({}
) are used to extract the contents of the cells, while parentheses (()
) are used to extract a subset of the cells (that is, the result is also a cell array).
Use code128B{a,1}
instead of code128B(a,1)
to get the number instead of a cell containing the number. However, if v
is also a cell then you have to use isequal
to compare their contents.
