MATLAB: Using reshape on multiline character arrays

character arraysMATLABreshape

I have a cell array of regular character data that I have read from a file.
    '0017007B02F00000----------------013002EB00000000'
    '0017007B02F00000----------------013002EB00000000'
    '0033007B02F00000----------------013002EB00000000'
    '0033007B02F00000----------------013002EB00000000'
I want to split this into chunks of 4 so I can use hex2dec on each chunk. I'm able to do this for one line as follows:
    reshape('0017007B02F00000----------------013002EB00000000',4,[])'
    ans =
    12×4 char array
    '0017'
    '007B'
    '02F0'
    '0000'
    '----'
    '----'
    '----'
    '----'
    '0130'
    '02EB'
    '0000'
    '0000'
However, would there be any way to do the whole array at once so I don't have to reshape line by line?
I am using Matlab 2017b.

reshape(char(theArray).',4,[]).'
