To export a list of strings from Python to MATLAB using scipy.io
, you can use the savemat()
function. Here's an example:
import scipy.io as sio # Create a list of strings my_strings = ['hello', 'world', 'how', 'are', 'you'] # Convert the list to a numpy array of dtype 'object' my_strings_array = np.array(my_strings, dtype='object') # Save the array to a .mat file sio.savemat('my_strings.mat', {'my_strings': my_strings_array})
In this example, we first create a list of strings called my_strings
. We then convert the list to a numpy array of dtype 'object'
(which is required to represent strings). Finally, we save the array to a .mat
file using savemat()
. The first argument to savemat()
is the file name ('my_strings.mat'
in this example), and the second argument is a dictionary containing the variable name ('my_strings'
in this example) as the key and the numpy array as the value.
