Question

I have a vertical matrix like

names = {
11
22
33
44
55
}

and I want to concatenate same string to all like

names = {
11nere
22nere
33nere
44nere
55nere
}

how could I do it in matlab?

Answer 1

This one liner should do it

names = cellfun(@(x)[num2str(x), 'nere'], names, 'uniformoutput', false);

where I’ve assumed the names cell array contains numeric entries not strings to start with – otherwise it’s even simpler,

names = cellfun(@(x)[x, 'nere'], names, 'uniformoutput', false);
