How to convert string data from excel columns to a table of ascii characters in workspace

Hi there,

I'm trying to find out how to take specific columns in an excel spreadsheet and convert this data to ascii format in the workspace.

This is what I have so far:

        [ndata,text,alldata] = xlsread('pGEX-4t-2-Cryw unique enzyme list','C1:E44');
%Takes the strings from rows C1:C44, D1:D44, and E1:E44 and assigns the string information to the variable 'text'
        z=text(:,[1,3]);
%Takes just C and E column information (restriction enzyme and cut sites) and passes it to variable z

Now I'd like to take this table I have created and convert it to ascii format.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Collin

Which "table" do you want to convert? What exactly is "ASCII format" in your case? What did you try and which problems occurred?
