How to convert string
 a b 3
into cell array {'a' 'b' 3}

Best Answer

Artyom - try using textscan to read the data from the string. Something like
 str = 'a b 3';
 Z = textscan(str,'%s','Delimiter',' ')';
 Z{:}'
 ans = 
    'a'    'b'    '3'
We use the fact that each character in he input string, str, is separated by a space. The space then acts as the delimiter between each character which we can use to separate each into its own string.
Note that Z is a 3x1 cell array.
Try the above and see what happens!
