MATLAB: I want to print the dot number that contains the text character.

Question

clear
clc
NN = str2mat('s23;s24');
for i = 1:2
    name{i}= sprintf('%d. Point', NN(i))
end

I tried something like that but I could not do it.

Answer 1

NN_split = strsplit(NN, ';');
for i = 1 : 2
  name{i} = sprintf('%s. Point', NN_split{i});
end

Mind you, I would not have initialized NN that way in the first place unless there was good reason to:

NN = {'s23', 's24'};
for i = 1 : 2
  name{i} = sprintf('%s. Point', NN{i]);
end

or more simply

NN = {'s23', 's24'};
name = strcat(NN, '. Point');

with no loop.
