character vector indexing Matlab

Question

I have the following character vector:

test = [sprintf('(1,2)\n(1,3)\n(1,4)')]

test = 
(1,2)
(1,3)
(1,4)

How do I make the indexing so that when I type test(1) it returns (1,2). and test(2) = (1,3) And test(2) = (1,4) . Is it possible to split a character vector by new line character?

Answer 1

You have to use strsplit which returns a cell array

c=strsplit(test,'\n')

As this is a cell indexing is done with {} , for example c{1}
