Name Storing in a While Loop

while (true)
    f=input('Enter First Name:','s');  
    l=input('Enter Last Name:','s');
    s1=strvcat(f,l)
    if( strcmpi(f,'Jed') );
        break
    end 
end
I need help here. My goal with this code is to be able to store names using the command strvcat. However, I'm having trouble integrating it. Any suggestions?

I think you are close. If someone entered

f = Tommy
l = Thomas

then

f = Sally
l = Sampson

then

f = Jed
l = Jameson

what do you want your final output to look like?

[James Tursa]

We need more detail. As written, s1 gets overwritten at each iteration, so it is not clear what you want as a final result. Do you want to accumulate all of the first & last name inputs into a single variable? E.g., a cell array of strings?

Ok, so basically I would like a 2 column matrix with first and last names next to each other.

And yes, I would like to accumulate first and last names.

E.g., using a cell array of strings,

names = cell(0,2);
while (true)
    f=input('Enter First Name:','s');  
    l=input('Enter Last Name:','s');
    names(end+1,:) = {f l};
    if( strcmpi(f,'Jed') );
        break
    end 
end
