converts cell list of character chains into one charchain of quotation marks separated sentences

Description

RESULT IS LIKE: '"space on a" "a on table" "space on b" "b on table"'

This function may accelerate the XPSEQS concept at a later stage.
functions such as contains work on charchain level
contains(xpstrings2cells(zzz),unsortrows(xpstrings2cells('"c on table"'))')
functions such as ismember work on cell level

Example Illustration

Syntax

sss=xpcells2strings(ccc)

Input Parameter

ccc: cell list of sentences such as [{'space on a'} {'a on table'}]

Output Parameter

sss: sentences separate by quotation marks

Examples


ccc=[{'space on a'}    {'a on table'}    {'space on b'}]
sss='"space on a" "a on table" "space on b" "b on table" "space on c" "c on table"'
xpcells2strings(ccc); sss=ans;

Algorithm (Workflow)

This function, XPcells2strings, is designed to convert a cell array of character strings into a single string where each sentence is separated by quotation marks. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 5.4.

Input Parameters

ccc: A cell array containing sentences. Each element of the array is a string, such as [{'space on a'} {'a on table'}].

Output Results

sss: A single string where each sentence from the input cell array is separated by quotation marks. For example, if ccc is [{'space on a'} {'a on table'}], the output sss will be "space on a" "a on table".

Algorithm Steps

The function takes the input cell array ccc.
It uses the join function to concatenate the elements of ccc into a single string, with each element separated by " " (a space enclosed in quotation marks).
The result of the join function is a cell array with one element, which is accessed using sss{1}.
The sprintf function is then used to format this string by enclosing it in quotation marks, resulting in the final output sss.

Example

Given the input:

ccc = [{'space on a'} {'a on table'} {'space on b'}]

The function will produce the output:

sss = '"space on a" "a on table" "space on b"'

This function is useful for operations that require a single string format, such as when using functions like contains or ismember that operate on character chains or cell levels, respectively.
