concatenate mutiple tables by repetative process

1 view (last 30 days)
Hello
I have a very large number of individual tables at my workspace, and I would like to concatenate them into a larger one by vertically combining all of them.
I have seen vertcat but i think it doesn't do so many repetition
The form of the final table is supposed to be =[A;B;...;n], does any body know of a way to automatically concatenate them.
regards
George

How are these tables stored in your workspace? Do they all have an individual name (like Table1, MyOtherTable, B, DDDDD, ...)? Can you somehow generate these table differently, so they are all stored in a cell array or an array of structs? Then it would be easy, making use of comma-separated list expansion :
% cell array example
C{1} = rand(3,4) ;
C{2} = ones(2,4) ;
C{3} = zeros(4,4) ;
vertcat(C{:})
% structure array example
S(1).data = rand(2,3) ;
S(2).data = zeros(3,3) ;
S(3).data = ones(1,3) ;
vertcat(S.data)

hi
the tables are generated into the workspace after some data manipulation of some .netCDF files, each table has been assigned a name automatically e.g. W1, W2.....Wn.
I had the tables into a structure (struct 1x1), but due to certain conditions had to individually extract them and save them assigning them with a timestamp, so now they are on the workspace as a table of 1603x561.
So all the tables are exactly the same dimension but my problem is how to automatically combine them vertically
