array of strings into 2 number array

Hello, i have an array of 3 strings,each string is consists of two numbers spaced by tab. i would like to create a 2X3 2D array.i thought of going with for loop using strsplit and str2num. is there an easier way,without for loop?

Thanks

Is this a cell array of strings, or a char array?

TAB = sprintf('\n');
output = str2double( cellfun(@(S) strsplit(S, TAB), YourCell, 'Uniform', 0) );

or

temp = regexp(YourCell, '\t', 'split');
output = str2double( vertcat(temp{:}) );
