MATLAB: Converting a comma separated list into an array concatenates them.

MATLAB

I was trying to convert a comma separated list of strings into a normal array. So B0005.cycle is a struct with some fields:
B0005.cycle.type is a comma separated list:
I tried to convert it into an array by doing this: [B0005.cycle.type] but it gives this output:
However I want ["charge", "discharge","charge","discharge",…]. So how do I go about this?
I have attached the mat file below.

I can see that you are trying to convert a comma separated list of strings to normal array. You can do it like following. 
arr={B0005.cycle.type};
newarr=[];
for x=arr
    newarr=[newarr; string(x{1})];
end
Refer to the following documentation to know more about comma-separated lists in MATLAB.
