MATLAB: Convert char to multiple cells, each cell takes one string

Question

I have a 1*121 char 'Runtime_Cur','Runtime_Prev','Id_Cur','Id_Prev','Description','PNL','PNL_Cur','valuedate_Cur','PNL_Prev','valuedate_Prev'

cellstr gives me a 1*1 cell, but I would like to get a 1*10 cell, each cell contains one string, so it will be: {'Runtime_Cur','Runtime_Prev','Id_Cur','Id_Prev','Description','PNL','PNL_Cur','valuedate_Cur','PNL_Prev','valuedate_Prev'}

ans =

Columns 1 through 6
    'Runtime_Cur'    'Runtime_Prev'    'Id_Cur'    'Id_Prev'    'Description'    'PNL'
Columns 7 through 10
    'PNL_Cur'    'valuedate_Cur'    'PNL_Prev'    'valuedate_Prev'

Could any one help? Thanks in advance 🙂

Answer 1

Provided that the literal quote marks do not appear in the middle of a string:

STRING(STRING=='''') = [];
STRcells = regexp(STRING, ',', 'split');
