Hello, I would like to know if there is anyway of making this work:
tstFeats = ['NB_ACQ'; 'AEC']
I Basically need to have different sized strings in each row of a matrix. Thank you for the help!

I'm trying to develop a Lempel-Ziv algorithm. I need to build a dictionary of strings, but the string lenghts are going to vary as it grows.
I think a Cell String will work, but I'm hoping the find function still works with it. If there's a better way to do this, please share?
Thank you, Richard V

When this question was first asked a cell array containing char vectors was the best option.
Now I would use a string array.
a = ["apple"; "banana"; "cantaloupe"; "durian"]

A matrix is always rectangular.
To get a list of string of different length, use a cell string:
tstFeats = {'NB_ACQ'; 'AEC'}
Consider the curly braces.

I used this to put a bunch of different string arrays of different sizes into one using the code below:
latinxData = {very_Lfm, very_Lm, vattractive_Lfm, vattractive_Lm, vfemL, vmascL};
This creates a 1x6 cell that links to the different strings. Is there any way to rename what it shows up as to the original variable names?
