How to use str2double( ) In MATLAB

The str2double() function is used for the conversion of strings to double-precision values.

Syntax:

str2double(string)

Here, str2double(string) is used to convert the text in the specified string to double-precision values.

Example:

Matlab




% MATLAB code for regexp() demonstration
% Initializing a cell array
A = {'gfg'; 'gfg1.23GFG'; '5gfg10'};
  
% Calling the regexp() function over the
% above cell array to extract number part
B = regexp(A,'\d+(\.)?(\d+)?','match');
  
% Calling the str2double() function to 
% convert the text to double-precision values
out = str2double([B{:}])


Output:

out =
   1.2300    5.0000   10.0000
