Hi ,

I want to make a Matrix with i rows and 4 colomns. I want to fill it with <X000i> with i a number changing from 1 to N . If the matrix name is A , I want the elemnts to be in the next order :

for i = 1 : N ( if N =10 )

A(1 , 1 ) = <X0001>

A(1 , 2 ) = <X0002>

A(1 , 3 ) = <X0003>

A(1 , 4 ) = <X0004>

A(2 , 1 ) = <X0005>

A(2 , 2 ) = <X0006>

A(2 , 3 ) = <X0007>

A(2 , 4 ) = <X0008>

.............

A(10 , 1 ) = <X0037>

A(10 , 2 ) = <X0038>

A(10 , 3 ) = <X0039>

A(10 , 4 ) = <X0040>

There shoud be only 4 digits after the X .

The hard part is that I don't knwo th code to have eac elemnt of the matrix a micture of number and string.

I woud really appriciate if someone could help me solve my problem .

Thank you .

I think this is your goal

N = 10; 
M = 4;
str = compose("x%04d",1:N*M);
A = reshape(str,M,N)'
A = 10×4 string array
    "x0001"    "x0002"    "x0003"    "x0004"
    "x0005"    "x0006"    "x0007"    "x0008"
    "x0009"    "x0010"    "x0011"    "x0012"
    "x0013"    "x0014"    "x0015"    "x0016"
    "x0017"    "x0018"    "x0019"    "x0020"
    "x0021"    "x0022"    "x0023"    "x0024"
    "x0025"    "x0026"    "x0027"    "x0028"
    "x0029"    "x0030"    "x0031"    "x0032"
    "x0033"    "x0034"    "x0035"    "x0036"
    "x0037"    "x0038"    "x0039"    "x0040"

Note that this is referred to as a string array rather than a matrix. You could also create a cell array of character vectors:

str = compose('x%04d',1:N*M);
A = reshape(str,M,N)'
A = 10×4 cell array
    {'x0001'}    {'x0002'}    {'x0003'}    {'x0004'}
    {'x0005'}    {'x0006'}    {'x0007'}    {'x0008'}
    {'x0009'}    {'x0010'}    {'x0011'}    {'x0012'}
    {'x0013'}    {'x0014'}    {'x0015'}    {'x0016'}
    {'x0017'}    {'x0018'}    {'x0019'}    {'x0020'}
    {'x0021'}    {'x0022'}    {'x0023'}    {'x0024'}
    {'x0025'}    {'x0026'}    {'x0027'}    {'x0028'}
    {'x0029'}    {'x0030'}    {'x0031'}    {'x0032'}
    {'x0033'}    {'x0034'}    {'x0035'}    {'x0036'}
    {'x0037'}    {'x0038'}    {'x0039'}    {'x0040'}

Here's another approach, not so nicely vectorized as @Adam Danz, in which I store the values in a cell array

I hadn't known about the compose function when I wrote up the attached answer. Thanks @Adam Danz for teaching me about the compose function with your answer.

numRows = 10;
numColumns = 4;
% cacluate total number of elements
N = numRows*numColumns;
% generate cell array  with elements of form <X000i>
A = cell(numRows,numColumns); % preallocate cell array to hold values
for i = 1:numRows
    for j = 1:numColumns
        k = sub2ind([numRows,numColumns],i,j);% get linear index
        A{i,j} = num2str(k,'<%04d>'); % e.g. '<0035>'
    end
end
disp(A)
    {'<0001>'}    {'<0011>'}    {'<0021>'}    {'<0031>'}
    {'<0002>'}    {'<0012>'}    {'<0022>'}    {'<0032>'}
    {'<0003>'}    {'<0013>'}    {'<0023>'}    {'<0033>'}
    {'<0004>'}    {'<0014>'}    {'<0024>'}    {'<0034>'}
    {'<0005>'}    {'<0015>'}    {'<0025>'}    {'<0035>'}
    {'<0006>'}    {'<0016>'}    {'<0026>'}    {'<0036>'}
    {'<0007>'}    {'<0017>'}    {'<0027>'}    {'<0037>'}
    {'<0008>'}    {'<0018>'}    {'<0028>'}    {'<0038>'}
    {'<0009>'}    {'<0019>'}    {'<0029>'}    {'<0039>'}
    {'<0010>'}    {'<0020>'}    {'<0030>'}    {'<0040>'}
