How can I concatenate strings in a cell array with spaces between them in MATLAB?

Question

I want to concatenate (padding with spaces) the strings in a cell array {\'a\', \'b\'} to give a single string \'a b\'. How can I do this in MATLAB

Answer 1

Small improvement (?) on the answer by Alex

strs = {'a','b','c'};  
strs_spaces = [strs{1} sprintf(' %s', strs{2:end})];
