Create matrix with strings

Hello,

I want to create a matrix filled with strings of dimension amount x 1 Then I run a for-loop and for each i I want to fill in the i-row with a string.

Eventually I want Matlab to give as answer:

>>matrix =

    String1

    String2
    ...

How can I achieve this? Thanks!

If the strings will have different length, you can not do it. Instead use a cell array:

amount = 3; % or whatever you want
my_cell = cell(amount,1); % empty 3x1 cell array
for k=1:amount
    tmp = sprintf('String%g',k);
    my_cell{k} = tmp;
end

my_cell = 

    'String1'
    'String2'
    'String3'
