thanks for all the reply.
In reality, my example was just a simple idea, what I actually have is a char array of 67000 rows, and 20 columns.

Each row contains a full name string.

Example:

Like my_char_array = john scott
jame canon
Lind david
so let us say I have the above array of rows 67000, and 10 columns, so my cell array will be :
my_cell_array = {'john scott'
'jame canon'
'Lind david'}

I was trying to avoid a for loop before, but I guess I have to use it.

Do you mean CELLSTR ?

Asking the direct question will often avoid much runaround.


my_char_array = ['john scott'
'jame canon'
'Lind david']
my_cell_array = cellstr(my_char_array)

I am very sorry for putting all of you through this. That is exactly what I need, I forgot that function cellstr exist.

I appreciate all the replies.
