I cannot understand, why 2767 letters can be "1000 times s", or why you type 2000 times. I would expect than 2767 letters are e.g. 2767 times 's' or that you type 's' 2767 times.

Do you mean that 1000 of the 2767 are 's' and the other 1767 are some other characters? If so, which other characters? What order do the characters need to be in?

Answer 1

[José-Luis]

 your_str = repmat('s',1,2767);

Or

 your_str(1:2767)='s';

Amongst other options.

Hello alexandra

Have you considered using a loop?

You can use a for-loop that repeats 2767 times. Create a string variable and then use the for-loop to add a letter into that variable each time it repeats. That should do the trick! Good luck
