How to reshape nested cell arrays in a table

Hi,

How does one reshape nested cell arrays in Matlab ? Let's say I have something like this:

t = table({1:24}, {1:48}, {1:48}, {1:48}); 

t = reshape(t.Var3, [4, 12])

How can I reshape Var2, Var3 and Var4 into 4x12 arrays instead of 1x48 ?

t(:,2:4)=varfun(@(x) {reshape(x{:},4,12)},t(:,2:4))

Thank you all, much appreciated.

Here is one way:

t.Var2 = {reshape(t.Var2{:},4,12)}

and analogously for Var3 and Var4.

Parsing what that is doing, from the inside out:

• Getting at the numeric array contents, using curly brackets, because Var2 is a cell array
• Doing the reshape
• Putting that reshaped numeric array back into a cell array
• Storing that new cell array into Var2 again

Seems like an odd use of a table to me, but who am I to judge?
