help str2cell

c = str2cell(v)
c = str2cell(v,delim[s])

creates a cell array C from input vector V.
places segments of V seperated by delimiter
DELIM into separate cells of C.

see also: CELLSTR

v : a string/vector of a ML supported data class
delim : array of delimiter[s] [def: isspace]
v-class syntax
----------------------
char 'xyz'
other [1 2 pi]

note:
an input matrix (NxM) will be turned into a
1x(N*M) column vector WITHOUT warning!

examples:
s='this is a ;;; test string; +-0 ;;;_;;; for; +;+ fun;';
c=str2cell(s,' +-;0_')
'this'
'is'
'a'
'test'
'string'
'for'
'fun'

d=[pi pi 1 2 inf 4 5 6 nan 78 pi];
c=str2cell(d,[nan pi 5 inf])
[1x2 double] % = 1 2
[ 4]
[ 6]
[ 78]
