Error in Assignin with strings

Hi Matlab users,

I have to create an cell array: cases = {'mean' 'min' 'max' 'std' 'm3' 'm4' 'm6' 'm8' 'm10' 'm25'} - This is an user input and user will enter : 'mean' 'min' 'max' 'std' 'm3' 'm4' 'm6' 'm8' 'm10' 'm25' , and I would like to use assignin to read it into the workspace. But when I read it into the workspace using strread, i am getting error like this- "Second input must be a filename or string to parse".

assignin('base','cases',strread(get(handles.cases_tag,'string')),'%s','delimiter',' ')

can anyone help how to create an cell array with the user input.

assignin('base', 'cases', strread(get(handles.cases_tag,'string'), '%s', 'delimiter', ' '))

That is, you had a ) in the wrong place.
