I am not sure if this is the right forum so please feel free to move.
Here is my question:
Lets imagine I have a variable people that is a Cell Array of names and ages:

people = {'Mr Joe Shmoe 34', 'Mrs Who Ha 30', 'Dr Jim Jam 58' 'Ms Twinky Pinky 7'}'

So in the command window, people will look like:
people =

'Mr Joe Shmoe 34'
'Mrs Who Ha 30'
'Dr Jim Jam 58'
'Ms Twinky Pinky 7'

If I want to split the cell so that I know the first part is the personTitle, second is firstName, third is surName, and last item is the their age, I could construct a new variable

step1 = regexp(people, ' ', 'split');

this returns a new <4x1 Cell>
step1 =

{1x3 cell}
{1x3 cell}
{1x3 cell}
{1x3 cell}

Now my question is how do I "reshape" this variable step1 to create a new variable step2 which is a cell of dimension <4x4> so that the first column is the personTitle, the second colum is the firstName, etc... and the rows correspond to each persons details?

Many thanks and kind regards,
Alberto

Why two posts? See your other thread on the same question.
