Description
Some observations:
- From MATLAB R2020a and onwards, it is possible to write character vectors directly into a
VARIABLE LENGTH H5T_STRING
. In MATLAB R2019b and earlier, character vectors had to be wrapped in a cell array.
However, when reading the value of typeVARIABLE LENGTH H5T_STRING
back from the file, the value will always be a character vector wrapped in a cell array (when using low-level H5 functions). In other words, the value which is read back is not necessarily the same as which is written. - Using
h5info
to read, at least attribute values will be converted back the char from R2020a and onwards, creating differences in how NWB file objects are represented (see screenshots)
