How do you write a string inside a cell ?

Hi,

I have a empty 2x2 cell C since

C = cell(2,2);

Now, I have 2 strings to put as 1st column of C, they are:

'String 1'

and

'String 2'

but when I write:

C{:,1} = {'String 1' ; 'String 2'}

It returns the error:

The right hand side of this assignment has too few values to satisfy
 the left hand side.

Can't I write inside a cell like an array as above ?

(in array in matlab as above C(:,1) = [2;3]; is allowed)

[Walter Roberson]

C(:,1) = [{'String 1'}; {'String 2'}];

Or:

C(:,1) = {'String 1'; 'String 2'}
