Referencing String in an array?

Hi guys, I am currently having the following problem

I want to create an array say:

A = ['Apple', 'Oranges']

And I want to access the array by the index of the items:

A(1) = Apple

A(2) = Oranges

But current, A(1) is only giving me a, A(2) is giving me p, so on

How do I access these items by their indices?

Thanks guys, been out of the matlab game for over a year and I can't remember anything! I even tried to use a struct but matlab struct is kind of crazy also.

Use a cell array

A = {'Apple', 'Oranges'}
A{1}
A{2}

Bo, this is not struct it's a cell array. When you work with different type of data, you can not avoid cell array

doc cell

Why not use a cell array?

 A = {'Apple', 'Oranges'};

 Then

A{1}

and

A{2}

will give you what you want.
