Answer 1

Another solution to this old question is the new container string array, introduced in Matlab 2016b. From what I read in the official Matlab docs, this container resembles a cell-array and most of the array-related functions should work out of the box. For your case, new solution would be:

a=repmat('Some text', 10, 1);

This solution resembles a Rich C's solution applied to string array.
