Creating a column vector of strings of various sizes

17 views (last 30 days)
hey so as the title says, I need to create a database / 'library'. I need to save each 'book' entered by the user ( the total amount of books entered is unknown, i.e. can enter as many as they want)into a vertical vector. Ive tried using strvcat and char and other methods to add elements to an empty vector but I keep getting dimension errors. Please help
cheers

books = cell([],1) ;
for i = 1:3
book = input('Book Name:','s') ;
books{i,1} = book ;
end

does this only work for 3 entries of the book though?
