mgrTitle = ['Harold A. Jorgensen '; ...

'Assistant Project Manager'; ...

'SFTware Corp. ']

mgrTitle =

3×25 char array

'Harold A. Jorgensen '

'Assistant Project Manager'

'SFTware Corp. '

• Call the char function. If the character vectors have different lengths, char pads the
  shorter vectors with trailing blanks so that each row has the same number of
  characters.

mgrTitle = char('Harold A. Jorgensen', ...

'Assistant Project Manager', 'SFTware Corp.')

mgrTitle =

3×25 char array

'Harold A. Jorgensen '

'Assistant Project Manager'

'SFTware Corp. '

Combining Character Vectors Horizontally

To combine character vectors into a single row vector, use square brackets or the strcat

function.

• Apply the MATLAB concatenation operator, []. Separate the input character vectors
  with a comma or a space. This method preserves any trailing spaces in the input
  arrays.

name = 'Thomas R. Lee';

title = 'Sr. Developer';

company = 'SFTware Corp.';

fullName = [name ', ' title ', ' company]

MATLAB returns

6 Characters and Strings
