How to scan a user-input sentence/phrase for the individual words

I'm writing a text to speech program in the Malay Language for a project. I have created a GUI with an editbox for the user-input. For starters, how do I scan the user-input sentence for words?
Using these words, I will match them with their corresponding *.wav file from a database of Malay words (Malay is written with English alphabets too)

A rudimentary way as a starter
InputText='This is is my testing speech.';
Words=textscan(InputText,'%s');
Words{:}

InputText='This is is my testing speech.';
Words=textscan(InputText,'%s');
Words{:}
what does the last line do?
The last line just shows you the result in Command Window, in case you are not familiar with the cell array referencing (using {} instead of ()). The first word will be in Words{1}, second words in Words{2}, etc.

Just a subtle improvement to Jiang's approach. (To get rid of the period symbol)
InputText='This is is my testing speech.';
Words2=regexp(InputText,'\w*','match')

Agree! There are many other things to be taken care of too, like InputText='This''s my testing speech.'.
