Create an array of strings

Question

Is it possibe to create an array of strings in MATLAB within a for loop   For example   for i 1 10 Names i   Sample Text   end   I don t seem to be able to do it this way

Another solution to this old question is the new container string array, introduced in Matlab 2016b. From what I read in the official Matlab docs, this container resembles a cell-array and most of the array-related functions should work out of the box. For your case, new solution would be:

a=repmat('Some text', 10, 1);

This solution resembles a Rich C's solution applied to string array.

one of the simplest ways to create a string matrix is as follow            x       first string     Second parameter    Third text     Fourth component

You can create a character array that does this via a loop       for i 1 10 Names i     Sample Text   end    Names  Names    Sample Text Sample Text Sample Text Sample Text Sample Text Sample Text Sample Text Sample Text Sample Text Sample Text   However  this would be better implemented using REPMAT       Names   repmat  Sample Text   10  1   Names    Sample Text Sample Text Sample Text Sample Text Sample Text Sample Text Sample Text Sample Text Sample Text Sample Text

You need to use cell-arrays   names   cell 10 1   for i 1 10     names i      Sample Text   num2str i    end

New features have been added to MATLAB recently   String arrays were introduced in R2016b  as Budo and gnovice already mentioned       String arrays store pieces of text and provide a set of functions for   working with text as data  You can index into  reshape  and   concatenate strings arrays just as you can with arrays of any other   type    In addition  starting in R2017a  you can create a string using double quotes      Therefore if your MATLAB version is    R2017a  the following will do   for i   1 3     Names i     Sample Text   end   Check the output    gt  gt  Names  Names       1  3 string array       Sample Text      Sample Text      Sample Text    No need to deal with cell arrays anymore

Another option   names   repmat   Sample Text    10  1

As already mentioned by Amro  the most concise way to do this is using cell arrays  However  Budo touched on the new string class introduced in version R2016b of MATLAB  Using this new object  you can very easily create an array of strings in a loop as follows   for i   1 10   Names i    string  Sample Text    end
