How to create a cell array with constant string entries without for loops.

I want to create a cell array of arbitrary size in which each cell contains a particular string, without a for loop.

Answer 1

Here are a couple options. Note that the second option is probably preferable in some respects but can give you trouble if B is already defined.

str = 'mystring';
C = repmat({str},5,6)  
B(1:5,1:10) = {str}

I had originally tried the last one, except without {} bracketing the string, which makes sense now that i see it. Both methods work great, and the latter does exactly what I need! Thank you.
