I use John D'Errico's allwords(): http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/27184-allwords

s = 'hi,how to split a string to array splitted by whitespace,also how to convert a date to string ( matlab R2008a)'
theWords = allwords(s)

Result:

theWords = 
  Columns 1 through 14
    'hi'    'how'    'to'    'split'    'a'    'string'    'to'    'array'    'splitted'    'by'    'whitespace'    'also'    'how'    'to'
  Columns 15 through 22
    'convert'    'a'    'date'    'to'    'string'    '('    'matlab'    'R2008a)'

You can specify delimiters other than spaces if you wish.

thnx so much ,but unfortunately the function ''allwords'' does not exist in matlab 2008a,i tried it but it didn't work :( ??? Undefined function or method 'allwords' for input arguments of type 'char'.

Sure it does. You just need to download it. (It is free too.) Image Analyst gave you the link to find it.

Once you download the file, add the unzipped directory to your search path, and it will now work.
