Conversion from char to cell is not possible

Hi I am trying to copy a cell array of strings to a cell array of cell arrays.

A = [8x3 char]

B = [8x1 double]

C = {8x2 cell}

C{1}(:,1) = A{1}; C{1}(:,2) = B{1};

how can i copy the strings in A cell to the first column of C cell and the integer data in B cell to 2nd column of C cell.

if i give like C{1}(:,1) = {A{1}};

A value is copied to all the rows in column 1 of C.

[8x3 char]

[8x3 char]

[8x3 char]

Despite your statement, A is not a cell array, but a 2D char array. You can convert A into a cell array of char vectors using cellstr. So:

 C = [cellstr(A), num2str(B)]

would be the simplest way to obtain what you want.

Note: Since R2016b, string is a new type different from the char arrays you're using. To avoid ambiguity use the term char array (or vector) instead of string.
