String problem

I want to store some strings in a row matrix. so used like this

>> str=['RR' 'DET' 'LMAX' 'ENT' 'LAM' 'TT'];
>> str

str =

RRDETLMAXENTLAMTT

It is stored as single string size of 1x17

Then I tried

>> str=['RR'; 'DET' ;'LMAX'; 'ENT'; 'LAM'; 'TT'];
??? Error using ==> vertcat
CAT arguments dimensions are not consistent.

I want to store each word in single cell of a row vector... How to do this?

Use a cell array:

cstr = {'RR' 'DET' 'LMAX' 'ENT' 'LAM' 'TT'};

to access it:

cstr{1}

Is there any method to merge this cstr in first row of the matrix with the size 9x6 double type?

I tried

X=[ctr; Y];

where Y is 9x6 matrix

but error is

??? Error using ==> vertcat

CAT arguments dimensions are not consistent.

[Andrei Bobrov]

X = [cstr;num2cell(Y)]

In general char class and numeric class cannot be "merged" but you can use the a cell array or you can canvert the numeric type to char (see num2str)
