Q:

Repeat a string with matlab

How can I employ repmat to produce the vector below;
sysHealthy={'sys';'sys';'sys';'sys';'sys'}

I tried: 
A=repmat({'sys'},1,5);
unique_cell = {sprintf('%3s;',A{:})};

but it produces the put below:
{'sys;sys;sys;sys;sys;'}

This output has two problems: first, in doesn't have double quotation above each sys and second, it has an ; at the end of the array. I would like to get something like 
sysHealthy={'sys';'sys';'sys';'sys';'sys'}.

A:

Try the following lines -- 
charLength = 3; repCount = 5;
A=repmat('sys',repCount,1);    % Creates a column vector
sysHealthy = mat2cell(A, repmat(1, [1,repCount]),charLength); % Convert them into cell.
