A cell array has type cell, but you can use repelem/repmat to make a cell array where each cell contains an empty char:

If you want a cell array of size 1,n where each cell contains an empty char...

repelem({''},n)

Or for a cell of size m,n where each cell contains an empty char:

repmat({''},m,n)

For an n dimensional cell array, where the last dimension has a size>1, something like this:

sz=[1 2 3 4 5];
repmat({''},sz)

Thanks, i figured it out with repmat after the fact
