M = cell(1,1);
str = 'A50';
str = char(str);
M{1} = str;

exactly what i wanted..thanks !!

[siddhesh rane]

I used

>> var_1 = 'A50';

>> C{1,1}{1,1} = char(var_1);

but its not working..

Are you watching the value in the variable editor? For a cell C, the variable editor presents the cell-array data with apostrophes, but when double-clicked, selecting single cells of the cell-array, the string appears without the apostrophe.

thanks a lot sir..one last question

If i create a text file from the data then will it have apostrophes?

Note that char makes absolutely no difference when its input is already of type char:

A = 'A50' % variable A already has type char,

A = 'A50'

B = char(A) % so function CHAR does absolutely nothing here.

B = 'A50'

  Name      Size            Bytes  Class    Attributes

  A         1x3                 6  char               
  B         1x3                 6  char               

isequal(A,B)

ans = logical
