Hello,

I want to replicate a string am wondering if theres a way of creating an array of strings by means of a function. Actually my intention is to get use a function that gets an string and a number n and returns this string replicated n times. For example:

res = function ('rand', 3)

res = [rand, rand, rand]

I have tried using repmat but the result is

res = repmat('rand', 1, 3)

res = [randrandrand]

Maybe the solution is to use cells but is there a function similar to repmat that generate cells?

Regards

Because a cell is an array of single cell, you can use REPMAT as well

res = repmat({'rand'}, 1, 3)
