str2cell: a pedestrian cell creator

creates a cell array from an input vector of any valid ML datatype

Description

help str2cell

  c = str2cell(v)
  c = str2cell(v,delim[s])
 
  creates a cell array C from input vector V.
  places segments of V seperated by delimiter
  DELIM into separate cells of C.
 
  see also: CELLSTR
 
  v : a string/vector of a ML supported data class
  delim : array of delimiter[s] [def: isspace]
  v-class syntax
  ----------------------
  char 'xyz'
  other [1 2 pi]
 
  note:
  an input matrix (NxM) will be turned into a
  1x(N*M) column vector WITHOUT warning!
 
  examples:
  s='this is a ;;; test string; +-0 ;;;_;;; for; +;+ fun;';
  c=str2cell(s,' +-;0_')
  'this'
  'is'
  'a'
  'test'
  'string'
  'for'
  'fun'
 
  d=[pi pi 1 2 inf 4 5 6 nan 78 pi];
  c=str2cell(d,[nan pi 5 inf])
  [1x2 double] % = 1 2
