Thread Subject: array of strings

hi everybody

i want create an array of str like this:
array= ['str1' 'str2' ... 'strn']
but when i call array(1) i dont have the entire first
str but only the first character of the first str
for example:
>>myarray=['abc' 'def' 'gih'];
>>myarray(2)
        b %not 'def'

You should you cell array:
myarray={'abc' 'def' 'gih'};
disp(myarray{2});

Or if you would like to keep string array:
myarray=['abc'; 'def'; 'gih'];
disp(myarray(2,:));

Use cell array:
myarray={'abc' 'def' 'gih'};
myarray{2}
