I have a variable which contains strings separated by comma :

H = 'Hello,we,are,united';

I want to extract each word which is comma separated in the above variable and store them in a separate variable e.g.

a1 = 'Hello';
a2 ='we';
..
..
a4 = 'united'

I have tried sscanf but without any success. Is there any simple way of extracting words from above variable?

Thanks.

a = regexp('hello,world,woohoo!',',','split');

Thanks for your suggestion but problem is that I only know that the data is comma separated I dont know what words are stored in the string. Instead of 'hello' it could have 'Data'.

Thanks Seans. I used the code that you suggested and it worked perfectly fine.
