Answer 1

text={t1; t2; t3; t4};
save Matfiletext text

%You can't concatenate vertically t1 and t2, because their size are different, but it's possible in cell array

%to get t1 and t2 use

t1=text{1}
t2=text{2}

% Or you can use

t1='J for Java';
t2='M for Matlab'; 
t3='C for cobol'; 
t4='F for FORTRAN';
text=char(t1,t2,t3,t4)

%to get t1 use

t1=strtrim(text(1,:))
