Cell arrays and strings

Hi,

I am working with cell arrays, and sometimes when I'm assigning strings in cells its saves as {["A"]} and sometimes as {'A'}. What is the difference, and how to access the data in both ways?

String arrays, a=["abc","defg"], are different from character arrays, a=['abcdefg']. Each character is a different element in the array and can be indexed while in string arrays, each string is an element (not the characters). See documentation for a cell array for indexing into a cell array. Basically, if you index with () you get a subset of the cell array and if you index with { } you get what is stored in that location.
