Hi, I'm new to matlab and I understand that single quotations when a matrix is printed is just to show the user that it's a string in the matrix. However, I was wondering how I can remove it. Below is the code I implemented and the results I see on the command prompt. I tried other ways i.e (square brackets), but the results were the same:
prompt = 'Number of loops? ';
loopCount = input (prompt);
Imatrix = {};
for i = 1:loopCount
Imatrix{i,1} = strcat('I', num2str(i));
end
display(Imatrix)
the command window displays
Imatrix =
'I1'
'I2'
'I3'
How can I make it display the same with without the quotations?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Although converting the cell string to a CHAR array displays the contents without quotes as a side effect, I'd prefer a method to display directly.

fprintf('%s\n', IMatrix{:});
