How can I turn a 1*1 cell into a cell array?

For example, what is the easiest way to turn a 1*1 cell 'a b c d e' into a cell array {'a'} {'b'} {'c'} {'d'} {'e'}? Please! Anyone can help me?

Hi

To split a 1x1 cell containing a string and convert the result into a cell array, you can utilize the "strsplit" function.

originalCell = {'a b c d e'};
splitArray = strsplit(originalCell{1});
disp(splitArray);

Hope this helps!

Another way:

originalCell = {'a b c d e'};
regexp(originalCell{1}, ' +', 'split')

ans = 1x5 cell array
    {'a'}    {'b'}    {'c'}    {'d'}    {'e'}

Oh, I didn't expect it, thanks!
