Error on Switch/case with cell array char data

Hello I am getting "SWITCH expression must be a scalar or a character vector." when i run my code bellow. I want to take an typed input from the user split it into individual cells and then check the variable with the created switch case concatenating the resulting letter's probability into a new variable. I know it has something to do to converting the inputted cell values into a character vector but I haven't found any good way to do it. Any help would be appreciated
get = input('type(letters only, no puncuation): ' , 's');
split = num2cell(get);
sorted_split = sort(split);
input_prob = [];
for n = 1 : length(sorted_split)
switch sorted_split{n}
case ' '
horzcat(input_prob,0.1859);
case 'a'
horzcat(input_prob,0.0642);
case 'b'
horzcat(input_prob,0.0127);
end
end
...

Your code runs for me without giving the error message you mention. Can you share exactly what you are using for input to create the error? Also, please copy/paste the error message here (all the red text). I wonder if the error may be coming from code that you have not shared here.
