How to convert string or chars to string arrays withing for loop?

3 views (last 30 days)
How could I convert message to string array withing for loop? Each string in array has to be 4 characters long. For example:
message = 'SOMETEXT';
for i = 1:4:length(message)
%some code here
end
Outcome would be:
out = ["SOME", "TEXT"];
Many thanks

l=1;
for i=1:4:length(message)
result{l}=message(i:i+3);
l=l+1;
end

You asked for for loop (specifically)

An easy way, with no loop, a bit similar to Stephan's answer:
%demo data:
in = char(randi(double('AZ'), 1, 28)) %random string of 28 characters
out = string(reshape(in, 4, [])')
