MATLAB: How to put spaces between the elements inside a char array

Question

Hello, gyus 🙂

Let's say I have a char array like:

data = [ format_time, ' ', format_data, ' ', '\r\n'];

where

format time = %4d %4d %2d

( There are spaces between the formats)

and

format_data = %6.3f%6.3f%6.3f%6.3f%6.3f%6.3f%6.3f%6.3f

( there are not spaces)

and the output is something like : %4d %4d %2d %6.3f%6.3f%6.3f%6.3f%6.3f%6.3f%6.3f%6.3f

The data from format_data are stored by using xlsread function from excel,

otherwise my outputs are joined
