Problem 779. Read a Text file from a URL and create an {N x 1} Cell Array
Given a URL string for a text file, read the text file and store the contents into a cell array.
The text file will have contiguous characters on different lines.
Inputs:
URL/File string (eg 'http://www.toobigforemail.com/cryptkeeper.toobig?npp=xgz8xdyx') (This is close but not a valid link)
This is a link to a text file.
Note: I tried to use my Google WebPage but it is an "https".
urlread for 2012a does not like https sites. (2012b???)
Typical Text File:
read2cell.txt
abcd
wxyz
Output:
{2x1 cell}
'abcd'
'wxyz'
This is intended as an introductory function usage.
Follow up will be, "Is it a valid scrabble word?", once I find that scrabble dictionary.

links don't seem to be working any longer...
Yes.
I will fix the dead link.
:-( "Error: Error downloading URL. Your network connection may be down or your proxy settings improperly configured."
I need to place link in another location that will last.
