How to use sprintf when the parameter contains an array cell

Hi,

How to use sprintf when the Address parameter contains an array cell?

Address={'./DataBase/1/(%d).png','./DataBase/2/ (%d).png' , './DataBase/3/(%d).png','...........','./DataBase/10/(%d).png'}

for j=1:10

Address=Address(j);

end

S{i}=sprintf(Address,i);

.

.

.

When I use this code, I get the following error :

Error using sprintf

Invalid format.Error in LoadData (line 29)

S{i}=sprintf(Address,i);

thank you

You are replacing the cell Address with () indexed elements of itself which would fail because after the first time it would be a scalar cell.

You try to pass a scalar cell as the format instead of using {} indexing to get the content.

Writing out all of those format strings in the cell array is a waste of time anyway: it is better to generate them in the loop, exactly as madhan ravi showed.

Thanks for the suggestions. I did it and the code does not make a mistake. Thank you so much for answering my question.

[madhan ravi]

n=10;
S=cell(n,1);
for k = 1:n
    S{k}=sprintf('./DataBase/%d/(%d).png',[k;k]);
 ... some operation
end
