Simple question, array of strings

Hi, I need to creat a very simple list of 2 strings.

list1 = ['random_string1','random_string2'];

Then, I want to create a list of these values.

Array1 = [list1,list2,list3];

• I need to be able to access one of those string easily.
• every string will be a different lenght and cant be determined
• I cant use the function: var =string(one,two,three); because im using MatlabR2015
• anyone have an idea, i guess it cant be that hard but i dont have much experience with matlab.

Walter is right, with no additional details, type cell is the preferred class for building arrays of varying length strings:

list1 = {'random_string1','random_string2'}
list1 = 
    'random_string1'    'random_string2'

to access one of the strings in list

list1{1}
 =
random_string1

to access one character in one string of list1

   list1{1}(1)
   =
  r

to generate the array of lists, one way could be

Array=[list1;list2;list3]
Array = 
    'random_string1'    'random_string2'
    'random_string1'    'random_string2'
    'random_string1'    'random_string2'

to access one of the strings in array, one can either use linear indices

Array{1}
 =
random_string1

Array{end}
=
random_string2

or sub-indices

Array{2,2}
 =
random_string2

to access a list in string, use :

Array{1,:}
 =
random_string1
 =
random_string2

and to access a single character in Array

   Array{1,1}(1)
   =
  r

Answer 2

[Walter Roberson]

list1 = {'random_string1','random_string2'} ;

And to access individual strings you need to use {} instead of ()
