converting cell array full of characters to a string

This is probably easy but I can't figure it out. I have a cell array where each entry is a character. I want to convert this cell array to a string because the characters in the cell array form a sentence. I tried char(array) which sort of works except it displays the string vertically instead of horizontally.

How about:

A = {'the';'quick';'brown';'fox'}
char(A)

or

char(cellfun(@transpose,A,'uni',false))

etc depending on how you want to convert it.

This still seems to display it vertically instead of horizontally

The post transpose it:

char(cellfun(@transpose,A,'uni',false))'

Thanks

Or if the elements are scalar characters: cat(1, A{:})'
