MATLAB: Regarding concatenated error.

Hi guys! I tried to put a 2×1 cell array into a one row matrix. I tried to use cell2mat but it didn't work. Please help!

i used the following code:

filename = 'glider.txt'

data1 = importdata(filename)

data = cell2mat(data1)

so glider.txt intitally shoud be

x=3, y=3

bo$2bo$3o!

All i really wanted it to be is just x=3,y=3bo$2bo$3o!

but when I ran my code i got the following error:

Error using cat

Dimensions of arrays being concatenated are not consistent.

Error in cell2mat (line 83)

m{n} = cat(1,c{:,n});
