Thank you Jos! I have updated the submission using your suggestion!

Better to use the oneliner:

% data
V = [1 2 3 4.5 6 pi] ;
prestr = 'Text before '
poststr = ' .. and after '
formstr = '%.2f' ;

% engine
C = cellstr(num2str(V(:),[prestr formstr poststr]))

Updates

1.0.0.0

Core function replaced with the more efficient version based on the use of cellstr and num2str (thanks to Jos).
