How to add string to the beginning of each element in a string array?

Hi there,

I'm trying to append the string 'Syl_' to the beginning of each element in a string array. For example, if I have the string array

s1 = string(1:4)

Columns 1 through 4

    "1"    "2"    "3"    "4"

I want to attach 'Syl_' to the beginning of each element, yielding:

 Columns 1 through 4

    "Syll_1"    "Syll_2"    "Syll_3"    "Syll_4"

Any help

strcat('Syl_', s1)

ans = 

  1×4 string array

    "Syl_1"    "Syl_2"    "Syl_3"    "Syl_4"

also works with a cell array of strings:

c1 = cellfun(@num2str, num2cell(1:4), 'UniformOutput', false);
strcat('Syl_', c1)

ans =

  1×4 cell array

    {'Syl_1'}    {'Syl_2'}    {'Syl_3'}    {'Syl_4'}

Perfect! I didn't realize strcat could read in an array, thanks so much!
