Do you need to convert a num2str row vector into a column vector when combining that vector with a character array of the same size?

Ex: if your character array is: names=char('ellen','bobby','joe');

numb=[8,17,3] numbers=num2str(numb) when combining do you need to do : combo=(names, numbers') ?

You can use STRVCAT to add a row to your char matrix:

 >> strvcat(names, numbers)
 ans =
 ellen    
 bobby    
 joe      
 8  17   3

That said, you might also consider using cell arrays to manage your strings instead to avoid this type of problem.
