How to make character String

Hiya,

If I have a character string that the User Inputed,

for instance

prompt = 'What is the character string  ';
str = input(prompt,'s');

And the user inputs something like

the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

I want each individual word to be stored into an array.

I know this is simple and am sorry for my silliness.

How could I go about doing this?

Thanks

str='the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'
out=strsplit(str)

strsplit was introduced in R2013a

If your Matlab version is older

str='the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'
out=regexp(str,'\S+','match')
