How to Add two strings

Hi, I am trying to add two strings:

A = 'a b c d e'

B = '1 2 3 4 5'

if I want to return a value 'a1b2c3d4e5', how should I set this up?

For a char array of the same length, you can do as follows.

A = 'abcde';
B = '12345';
C = reshape([A;B],1,[]);

[gmltn1212]

whar about they are in different lengths?

Perhaps you may want to add some padding to make them the same length

A = 'abcde';
B = '1234567';
pad = ' ';
lA = length(A);
lB = length(B);
switch true
    case  lA < lB
        A = [A repelem(pad,lB-lA)];
    case lB < lA
        B = [B repelem(pad,lA-lB)];
end
C = reshape([A;B],1,[]);
