Depends whether you want to do this with strings or character arrays:
sentence = "this is a string, not a character array";
words = split(sentence,' ') % this is an 8x1 array of strings
gives
words =
8×1 string array
"this"
"is"
"a"
"string,"
"not"
"a"
"character"
"array"
Alternatively
sentence = 'this is a character array';
words = split(sentence,' ') % this is an 5x1 cell array of chars
gives
words =
5×1 cell array
{'this' }
{'is' }
{'a' }
{'character'}
{'array' }
split() is relatively new (R2016b), but you should also be able to use strsplit() back to R2013a
