New to Matlab - guess this will be quite easy for anyone using matlab:
If you have the following in a cell array:
L1125
Y8898
P41
5666
But you want it written in the following format:
'L1125','Y8898','P41','5666'
So basically adding an comma and apostrophe as shown above

I suspect that you are confusing how data are stored with how they are defined and displayed, but anyway:
C = {'L1125';'Y8898';'P41';'5666'}
C = 4×1 cell array
{'L1125'} {'Y8898'} {'P41' } {'5666' }
S = sprintf(',''%s''',C{:});
S = S(2:end)
S = ''L1125','Y8898','P41','5666''
Note that the leading and trailing single quotes are just an artifact of displaying, they are not actually in the character array (you can easily check this yourself by looking at the character codes).
