String to Cells

Split a single string into a cell array.

Description

Take a single string and separate out individual "elements" into a new cell array. Elements are defined as non-blank characters separated by spaces.

Similar to str2cell, except str2cell requires an array of strings. str2cells requires only 1 string.

Example: Consider the following string in the workspace:
aString = ' a b c d efgh ij klmnopqrs t u v w xyz '
 
 >> newCell=str2cells(aString)'
 
 newCell =
 
     'a'
     'b'
     'c'
     'd'
     'efgh'
     'ij'
     'klmnopqrs'
     't'
     'u'
     'v'
     'w'
     'xyz'

This function does the same thing as the function (explode) created by Sara Silva.

1) what is str2cell? where does it live?
2) no need for this, really:
newCell=strread(aString,'%s')
