display a matrix that contains strings and numbers

hi

take for example the following:

nameMatrix = {'abc';'ef'}
dataMatrix = [ 1 2 3; 4 5 6]
fullMatrix = {nameMatrix,dataMatrix}

if i want to display the full matrix st i get the following

abc 1 2 3

ef  4 5 6

how can i do that so that they are perfectly aligned. if i use celldisp dont get them aligned..

thanks

fullMatrix = [char(nameMatrix), num2str(dataMatrix)];

thanks soo much

one more question what if i have it the other way around

want a final matrix to be

abc ef

1 4

2 5

3 6

thanks

char([nameMatrix; num2str(dataMatrix)])

However, if you want the names to align with the numbers, then the easiest way is to start using fprintf()
