How to divide a sequence into 8 groups?

Hi there!

I have a sequence of data i.e 1123412355689114567807698......................27345678 (until the 4096th value)

I would like to divide them in groups of 8. For example:

11234123

55689114

56780769

.

.

.

27345678

Is there a way i can do this?

Thank you in advance.

I am going to assume that your "data" is a long character vector with no delimiters.

v = char(randi([48 57],1,64)) % example vector

v = '1134066498316424744666518936461452422195836459588198717282983265'

% to get a reshaped character array
vreshaped = reshape(v,8,[]).'

vreshaped = 8×8 char array
    '11340664'
    '98316424'
    '74466651'
    '89364614'
    '52422195'
    '83645958'
    '81987172'
    '82983265'

% to get as a numeric array instead
vnum = str2num(vreshaped)

vnum = 8×1

11340664 98316424 74466651 89364614 52422195 83645958 81987172 82983265

% or
vnum = str2double(num2cell(vreshaped,2))

vnum = 8×1

11340664 98316424 74466651 89364614 52422195 83645958 81987172 82983265

% or
vnum = str2double(mat2cell(v,1,ones(1,numel(v)/8)*8)).'

vnum = 8×1

11340664 98316424 74466651 89364614 52422195 83645958 81987172 82983265
