string problem

hi, i have two strings

string1='a'

string2='b'

how do i get these into an array so i get:

total=['a', 'b']

I know the above is easy, but i want to be able to add n strings together into the total string array, n has to be defined by the user, in this case it is 2. (the strings can be anything i have just used the alphabet as an example)

I hope this makes sense!

Can you just use cell arrays?

total = {'a','b'}

i could but that wouldn't allow me to add a different amount of strings into the array each time.

The amount of strings i need in the array is defined by the user.

Im hoping to use it to label a plot legend with n variables.
